Discover our exceptional collection of Cuban cinema posters, many signed by the artist Antonio Reboiro. These rare pieces offer a glimpse into Cuban art and culture, arriving in the US through an extraordinary journey.
Unveiling our unique collection
Our Cuban film posters stand apart from any other collection you might encounter. We proudly present a unique assortment, primarily signed by the renowned artist Antonio Reboiro. These posters were famously smuggled into the U.S. via diplomatic pouch in the mid-1980s, and we acquired this entire collection directly from the artist himself. Each poster tells a story, not only of Cuban cinema but also of a fascinating moment in history, making them truly one-of-a-kind art pieces for discerning collectors.

These posters are more than just art; they are a connection to culture, history, and exceptional design.
The journey of a collection
The story behind the acquisition of this remarkable collection is as captivating as the posters themselves. Artist Antonio Reboiro became aware of my father's gallery, Poster America, in NYC. He ingeniously arranged for his original collection of pencil-signed silkscreen posters, alongside a selection of works by other ICAIC artists, to be delivered. This was achieved over several trips, via diplomatic pouch, to the Cuban Consulate in NYC, and ultimately, to my father's gallery. This extraordinary effort ensured that these priceless pieces of Cuban art found their way to enthusiasts and collectors.
