Book on the matrix of the art world

Showing unconditional compromise, as champions of the recognition of contemporary artists as essential components of the society, these Cuban intellectuals have used their creative freedom for drawing the attention of decision makers of the art world on the relevance of protecting artists from noxious forces that restrict the beneficial impact of a Fidel Micó
November 18 2015

A book intended by two Cuban writers for artists and art lovers has recently being published at: http://www.lulu.com/shop/celia-charlotte-and-jos%C3%A9-a-buxad%C3%B3/the-silences-smell/ebook/product-22453675.html. Showing unconditional compromise, as champions of the recognition of contemporary artists as essential components of the society, these Cuban intellectuals have used their creative freedom for drawing the attention of decision makers of the art world on the relevance of protecting artists from noxious forces that restrict the beneficial impact of art. The subject of the book “The silence’s smell” seems to be the effect of the use and abuse of a power tool that reduce the visibility of contemporary artists, no matter the relevance of their contributions to aesthetics, education, and civilization.

My last conversation with one of the writers was actually useful. He demonstrated me that nothing was ever born from nothing, and that I must show my art to the world, because, according to him, my artistic intentions are compatible with hopes of the humankind. A few months ago, he had motivated me to show six of my oil on canvas at exhibition in Mexico City, and write with him an article dealing with Havana Biennial 2015. Certainly, we learned too much during four years of his provenance research for cataloguing my work. Obviously, he learned much more at the studio, and definitively he got into a world that he didn’t know. This was probably his major motivation to explore the ethereal interface between art world and art market, and finally making the decision of writing the book “The silence’s smell”.

I firmly recommend this reading to artists and art lovers, because: i-) this book is a strong motivation for rethinking on ourselves as major civilizing forces, ii-) it penetrates into the mechanism governing global recognition of our work, iii-) it transmit hopes and encouragement to artists who work thinking in those people that really need art, iv-) it invites us to write on art to reinforce our messages and translating our intentions for those people who can’t understand visual messages, v-) it explores interesting features of the contemporary Cuban art, and finally, vi-) it motivates to read on many intriguing issues, such as information asymmetry, and  fine art appraisal.

 Publication of peer-review paper   The prestigious academic journal Art Documentation has published a 5 pages article dealing with my career. The paper, entitled “Catalogue Raisonné of the Work of Fidel Micó: A Case Study” (Art Documentation 34, no. 2, 2015, p. 349-353, http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/683379), describes the methodology used by the independent scholar José A.

 The pleasures of authentication   Yesterday, I was surprized by an almost imperceptible press release, among hundreds of thousands that usually populate the information world, although decorated with the most subtle asymmetry. Times when I felt that I had been born just to enjoy the most luxurious pleasures of aesthetics, to become into artworks all that I couldn´t sing nor to writ

 Crossing the old paradox   This real story crosses the interface between parallel universes of the human creation. Havana’s Sunday use to be a quiet day when people visit friends, family, and spiritual leaders of our more than 400 religions. Last Sunday was different for me, because a scientist had told me, a day before, that I had lost my time reading critical assessments o

 Warning to collectors, galleries, and auction houses   A few months ago, I started to receive a significant amount of phone calls asking me for authenticity of my artworks. In most cases, the pieces were never painted by me, but all they had been sold as mine. I mean, approximate imitations of my signature were included in an undetermined amount of paintings, and were sold to private collectors. The fo
