Arte culinario 4, a huge oil on canvas created earlier this year, follows Fabelo’s familiar surrealist themes, featuring
his classic naked bird women. Colourful and lively, the 200 x 235 cm painting carries an estimate of $60,000-80,000.

LONDON.- The diplomatic revolution taking place as relations thaw between the United States and Cuba may well herald a new boom in the art world.
So says Global Head of Art at Fine Art Bourse Anastasia Phillips, who has already secured work by leading Cuban artist Roberto Fabelo for her company’s inaugural online auction on September 14.
“The announcement in the last week that the two countries will open embassies on each other’s territory is just the latest sign of the genuine growing warmth in relations,” says Anastasia, who recently returned from Havana.
“If things continue in this vein, there is a good chance that cultural and commercial links will follow, and this poses the exciting possibility of the wider world finally getting to see the flourishing world of Cuban art.”
