musées

l’apporto alla transizione di jorge m. pèrez, il miliardario americano di origini cubane, grande collezionista, che pochi anni fa ha realizzato nella città di miami il museo che porta il suo nome al quale ha donato 10 milioni di dollari in cash e una collezione di 200 lavori di artisti cubani del valore di 5 milioni di dollari. un segnale fortissimo, che sicuramente prescinde dalla morte di fidel castro, ma che mira a una maggiore conoscenza della scena artistica dell’isola e che conferma ulteriormente un’atmosfera di disgelo tra cuba e gli states. tra le opere in collezione quelle di hernan bas, carlos garaicoa e los carpinteros
