Cuban art and artists are superhot right now, and we'll have an avalanche of Cuban shows this year in DC. More on that later...

How to make them even hotter?

Answer: Eliminate or reduce access to their artwork.

Read the Art & Antiques magazine article "Crackdown ends U.S. Collecting Trips to Cuba."
