                We welcome you to our online gallery SubastaCuba.

I hope that your visit will be a pleasant one. It is with great pleasure that we present you this selection of the best Cuban art, production of the more important and internationally recognized contemporary Cuban artist. At SubastaCuba you can find a complete vision of the most genuine expression of Cuban contemporary art, most of this art works we offer you, are absolutely unique, a really Jewell for all art collectors.

 The diversity of the works showed here attests to the creative and technical achievement of the Cuban artist's.  The works range from hand-pulled prints that utilize a range of Printmaking technique to drawings, to oils, and a variety of mixed media, Paintings, Serigraphy, Lithography, Colography, Xylography, Aguatinta, Aguafuerte and Engraving.

 After a trip to Cuba during the 1940s, Alfred Barr, legendary director of New York's Museum of Modern Art, bought Wifredo Lam's The Jungle creating a controversy; he put the Cuban artwork in the lobby of the museum. The Jungle is now not only the most well-known work of art from Cuba, but from all of Latin America too.

Regardless of exactly what, when and how events transpire in Cuba, change is already having an impact on Cuban art. At its November 2006 Latin American auction four artists who Christie's mentions by name that set new records were Cubans: Tomas Sánchez, Mariano Rodríguez, Augustin Cárdenas and Pedro Pablo Oliva. In the introduction to a 2007 exhibition catalogue, Ramón Cernuda, arguably the pre-eminent Cuban art dealer in the U.S., states: "We could speak of figures, volumes of sales, and prices reached to explain our rejoicing.“ And will the market continue to expand? Business Week says yes. In the January "Where to Invest 2007" issue, it cites Cuba as one of five emerging nations worth "scouring" for contemporary art.

Now is the right time to buy art, non-financial assets form the greater part of world wealth and have been more stable in value during periods of financial and social turbulence, art still the safest long term investment art still the best investment you will ever make recent research by Barclays Capital and The Economist indicates that art has out performed both equities and property over both short and long periods of time demonstrating that art has emerged as a viable asset class.

 Art is the only commodity other than gold which is constant in giving steady returns from the very beginning, Cuban art can make and had make its own money over a period of time, this means, Cuban art should not be taken as a short investment of just few months, but give it some time and this does not mean lifetime but at least around three years. It will give you good returns. If you pick out some good Cuban paintings and study their progress in the last few years, you will find out that they have given very good returns.
