Here are some of the standouts for Cuban art at this year’s ABMB.
Miami’s own Fredric Snitzer Gallery (Stand A10) will feature work by Enrique Martínez Celaya and Tomás Esson.
And in Art Basel’s “Kabinett” section, Snitzer is presenting Redo, an installation work by Alexandre Arrechea. The installation includes six watercolors and seven pieces of polychrome wood arranged on the floor.
Arrechea’s work is also on view at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, where Alexandre Arrechea: Uninhabited Order presents three large-scale watercolors, a sculpture, and an installation.
At ABMB, Arrechea is also featured at Nara Roesler Gallery (B106).
For many years, Zurich-based Peter Kilchmann Gallery (Stand C21), represented Los Carpinteros. Now, in the wake of the group’s dissolution earlier this year, the gallery is presenting Los Emblemas, a series of wall sculptures by Dagoberto Rodríguez, one of Los Carpinteros’ founding members. Resembling Art Deco–style logos of old American cars, the sculptures highlight a selection of words and phrases commonly spoken in Cuba or utilized in official government statements over the past 60 years.
Works by Zilia Sánchez and Ana Mendieta are among the pieces showcased by Galerie Lelong (Stand F12). Untitled Estructura (Blue) (2007/2016), a sculptural work by Carmen Herrera, is on view at Lisson Gallery (Stand G23).

Galería Elba Benítez (D17) for Carlos Garaicoa . . . Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel (C25) . . . Mai 36 Galerie (F10) . . .
