THE ART OF THE REVOLUTION

Gallery Inauguration and Vernissage of ‘Art: Elixir of Life’ by Flora Fong

Gallery Inauguration and Vernissage of ‘Art: Elixir of Life’ by Flora Fong

Flora Fong (*1949) ist eine der bekanntesten zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen Kubas und eine der ersten Frauen der postrevolutionären Kunstszene.
