Auction Ended

Reynerio Tamayo – Centro Habana

Reynerio Tamayo is an important contemporary caricaturist whose works transcend the genre to offer pointed and often comic commentary on art and politics in painting and sculpture. Tamayo is a heartfelt painter who spoofs in English and Spanish, he is known for his mockery of the art establishment as well as politics, with comic book heroes, notorious gangsters and art historical icons serving as proxies to explore contemporary issues. Tamayo is also one of Cuba’s truly accomplished hyper-realist painters.

His works are in the collections of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana and the Humor’s Museum in San Antonio de los Baños, both in Cuba; the Van Reekum Museum in Apeldoorn, Netherlands; the Coral Capital Art Collection in Panama City, Panama; the Daisaku Ikeda Collection in Japan; the von Christierson Collection in London, United Kingdom; and the Gilbert Brownstone collection in France, among others.
