The USC Fisher Museum of Art has maintained a special commitment to Latin American and Latino art for the last thirty-five years. The museum has mounted exhibitions and, crucially for a university museum, has organized significant conversations - encuentros - with artists, curators, critics and scholars hailing from a number of Latin American countries. Still, there has been no real contact with Cuba. In May of this year that changed when director Selma Holo accompanied a group of contemporary art collectors to Havana.
Considering this an orientation trip, Dr. Holo had no intention of buying anything. She says, "From the very first studio visit, I was hooked. Out of eleven formal studio and gallery visits, and two extended trips to the astonishing and iconoclastic Fábrica de Arte - where there were dozens more artists on exhibit - I surprised myself by purchasing six pieces for the Fisher Museum." ¡Cuba! is enhanced...by loans from other collectors on that trip: Barbara and Roger Hill, Loraine Despres Eastlake and Carelton Eastlake, Marsha and Ike Coron, Francoise Gerard, Christine and Robert Holo, along with Devra Breslow, Cristina Vives, and Darrel Couturier.
