Havana, Nov 13 (acn) The Havana Auction, to be held for the sixth time 
in this capital on November 28, will include this year the work of a 
group of classic and novel Cuban painters.

The projects Havana Gallery and Havana Auction were created in 2002 to 
protect the island's cultural heritage and to promote the work of the 
new Cuban artists in the world.

The auction, which draws the attention of a large number of collectors 
from the United States and Europe, takes in the work of renowned Cuban 
painters such as Leopoldo Romañach, Juan Gil Garcia, Rafael Soriano,

paintings, sketches, sculptures and photos will be auctioned at Cuba's 
emblematic National Hotel in Havana.

There will also be a virtual gallery, which will be on-line throughout 
the year. Miret said that several telephones will be set up during the 
auction day to receive any outside bids.

>From November 19 onwards, the Havana Gallery will exhibit the works 
that will be auctioned on November 28 at 6.00 pm, which constitutes an 
excellent opportunity for the people who appreciate fine art.
