My Life in Argentina and Beyond

Tuesday, September 4, 2007: Last Friday´s monthly Gallery Night in Buenos Aires was one of the best I have attended. The art, highlighting contemporary and past local art, was extremely good. There were paintings by Berni, Splimbergo among others, and it was usually very well displayed. The prices are no bargain, but they they are cheaper than they would be elsewhere. Musicians played jazz on the sidewalk and, while tourists and residents enjoyed the paintings, pink Chandon champagne was served in tall glasses. Women wearing mink jasckets and coats chatted it up with friends and acquaintances.
