Web Musings: PINTA Art Fair!

Floria Gonzalez, Lourdes, 2012

Hi there! I hope you're having a wonderful start to your week! I'm sure for most of you, it's an abbreviated week which is super awesome! So, I had the privilege of attending the PINTA Art Fair in New York City this past weekend and it was absolutely incredible. My cousin, Elena, had an extra VIP pass to the event, and I eagerly accepted the invitation last Thursday night. I was so excited to make the trip into NYC to attend such an exciting event! According to the PINTA Art Fair website, the event includes "the most prestigious galleries from the United States, Latin America and Europe." Each of the fifty galleries is invited to participate in this event and is instructed to display "museum-quality works representative of abstract, concrete, neo-concrete, kinetic and conceptual art." It was a fantastic exhibit of Modern and Contemporary Latin American art and it was great to see the works of so many artists. We lucked out and the event was very quiet on Sunday, which was the last day of the fair. According to one of the organizers, the event had been jam-packed for the past several days. Elena and I were free to browse around the fair without running into too many people. It was excellent! Because pictures are capable of saying 1000+ words, I'll let these images speak for themselves. The fair was awesome and I was so thrilled that Elena was so generous to share her extra VIP with me...what a treat! I hope to attend the PINTA Art Fair again in the future! Here are my favorite works from this year's show...enjoy!
