Description
1970 Cundo Bermúdez Cuban Serigraph La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, 62/150

Offered for sale is a rare original 1970 serigraph by Cundo Bermúdez of the Cuban La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre. This virgin was especially important to the Cuban people who fled Castro by water during the period. The serigraph is pencil numbered in the margins 62/150, titled Serigraph in the center, and signed and dated 70 in the lower right margin. This serigraph is extremely difficult to acquire and hasn't come to auction in the last 18 years.
The print is in as-found condition with the original 1970s period matting and framing. The glass has tiny bubbles. There are some marks under the glass to the left side of the print as shown. We believe these are on the glass. There are 3 places where there are imperfections in the paper as shown. This was from the home of a couple who were Cuban art collectors and were the original owners.

Art by sight, 21.5"W by 32"H.
