- Artist
- Emilio Sánchez, born Camagüey, Cuba 1921-died Warwick, NY 1999
- Exhibition Label
- In the 1980s, Sánchez turned to the urban landscape of New York, where commercial establishments like bodegas (corner stores) evoked places and people from the Caribbean. La Rumba Supermarket is named after a signature Cuban rhythm that became internationalized after the 1930s. The brightly hued structure reflects the color palette of Caribbean domestic architecture and suggests the ways Latino culture transformed the appearance and “language” of this major American metropolis
