Casa de las Américas - Galería Latinoamericana (cover art: Wifredo Lam), "Wifredo Lam Desconocido," 1991. Print book, offset print.

"Wifredo Lam Desconocido" (Unknown Wifredo Lam) is an exhibition catalog published by Casa de las Américas' Galería Latinoamericana in conjunction with the Fourth Bienal de La Habana (Cuarta Bienal de La Hebana) in 1991. The minimalist cover, printed on kraft paper, features an original abstract line drawing by Lam rendered in black ink at the center—characteristic of his geometric, gestural style—along with the artist's distinctive calligraphic signature. The title text appears on the left side with publisher information on the right, and four small decorative symbols anchor the bottom. This austere design aesthetic reflects both the economic constraints of Cuba's Special Period and a return to essentials that emphasizes the artist's work directly.

The catalog presents previously unknown or lesser-known works by Lam spanning from 1951 to 1984, including drawings, paintings on various supports (paper, cardboard, canvas), and works in different techniques and sizes. The index lists numerous untitled works alongside titled pieces such as "Elegguá," "Sin título," "Figura," and others, documenting the full range of Lam's artistic production during his later decades. Published nine years after Lam's death in 1982, this catalog represents Cuba's continued engagement with Lam's legacy and Casa de las Américas' role in preserving and promoting Latin American artistic patrimony. The Fourth Bienal de La Habana, held during the challenging Special Period, affirmed Cuba's commitment to maintaining its position as a center for contemporary art despite severe economic difficulties.
