Antiquing in Buenos Aires by Bob Frassinetti

September 2nd, 2010 by Admin

Rare and incredible objects, furniture, books, toys, artworks… all those antiques and collectibles you dream of can be found in Buenos Aires.
Once upon a time Buenos Aires was a very small port city with very little population surrounded by one of the world’s most fertile lands. Not too far away there were several other populations with very different traditions to the Spaniards who had populated this portside area. As the city grew and the Porteñan society evolved many Europeans chose Argentina to be their home. They immigrated with all their possessions from every corner of the old continent. This flow from Europe to Argentina first began in mid 19th century, and has never stopped till now. At the same time, as the world evolved –wars, economical possibilities, inspiration, were many of the causes that help other people chose our country as their own.
All of these new immigrants that were coming from Europe (Western and Eastern), Middle East, Asia and Africa, as well as many other Latin American countries, brought with them all kinds of objects, from paintings to mirrors and combs, from decorative items to all kinds of furniture, and so on.

This brief history of immigration in Argentina might help those that don’t know our country to understand a bit about the eclectic variety of items that can be found in this beautiful city that is Buenos Aires (specially Buenos Aires because it has always been the main gate to our great and beautiful country). Many of them were brought in immigration ships, many others were sent to these families from their homelands, some others were imported, and some other ones were the result of business among relatives who lived in their homelands and these new immigrants that were building a life in our Pampas. Those valuable family objects some times due to hard economic situations, or may be because there was no one to inherit them, have taken a path towards flea markets, auctions or antiques shops.

During the last few years there has been a huge turn in our economy, the peso (local currency) has lost much of its value in relation to the dollar and the Euro, this situation has impacted in many areas of our everyday life. On the dark side one of the biggest consequences of this economic shift has been an intense flow of goods towards all kinds of markets, in order to keep on with a certain lifestyle. Therefore many families have found themselves in a situation were they had to sell many of their family’s goods. On the bright side this new valuation of the peso has made of Argentina a more appealing place to visit for foreigners, since its much cheaper than many other big international metropolis though still shows all its splendor in its culture, art, fashion and good sense of living.

Our local flea markets, open fairs and antiques shops are open history books that show this turns in our lives.

Plus, these are excellent places to shop for those items all art lovers dream of, as well as an excellent opportunity for art dealers that wish to offer their regular clients high class items at reasonable prices.

One of the most beautiful open air markets in the city is in the historical neighborhood of San Telmo, that’s open all day during Sundays, from very early in the morning to late in the afternoon. Surrounded by countless antiques shops that open their doors to the public all week long, this fair is just beautiful, with very good quality items… Bargaining is always an interesting possibility when acquiring these type of objects, always a plus to get what you want at the price you want to.

In the outskirts of the city, the Solano fair is one outstanding market where if you have a sharp eye for antiques you can find absolutely amazing treasures. Since this fair is very much for locals you can find all from old clothes, semi used house goods, and whatever people had and needed to sell… Its always better to visit this outskirts out of the tourists path fair with a local, best if you know what you want but don’t have much time and your Spanish is not very good.

Back to the city, one excellent flea market is the Dorrego Market, in the heart of Palermo, very nearby a great restaurants area, this market has all kinds of items. Its just a matter of walking around and talking with the local people that are very kind and would gladly help you in your quest.

On the other end of the city, during the weekends there’s an other kind of flea market in Peru abajo. Located in the beautiful residential area of Acasusso you will find this fair has all kinds of decorative items and furniture, one of its specialties are chandeliers at very reasonable prices… High class and good prices, one excellent combo!

These are the most representative fairs and markets in BA. There’s nothing you can’t get, you name it, they have it… And of course, these are excellent sights when touring through the city of tango, ‘cause there are many different street shows that weekly chose those locations to show their art: tango, puppeteers, street theatre, live music, plus all kinds of local street food to enjoy during your walk, there’s no way that can go wrong!

Buy Art Invest in Bricks and Dodge Inflation

Wed, 1 Sep 2010 18:29:14 -0200

The received wisdom in countries like Argentina, with years of painful experience of surviving inflation, is that when prices start to gallop, you invest in bricks and mortar. Or a car. Or consumer durables. Or now, perhaps, art.

On Thursday, the city bank of Buenos Aires, Banco Ciudad, which prides itself on being the country’s top bank in the auctions business, holds its third “super special” auction of the year - and is already bracing itself for a packed auditorium and telephone lines buzzing with bids, amid what it says is a “sustained growth in public interest in investing in art”.

In Argentina, where private estimates reckon inflation will end the year at 25 to 30 per cent (well above the discredited official data, which reports that prices have risen 6.7 per cent so far this year), buying art may be a new hedge.

It could also be a way for Argentines to maintain a sense of sophistication. Argentines gloried in their humble peso being equivalent to the mighty dollar during the 1990s - until the unsustainable currency peg spectacularly collapsed in 2001-02.

Whatever the reason, visitors to the auction section of Banco Ciudad’s website have doubled in the past month and there are 20 requests a day to receive auction catalogues online for bidders to browse the relative bargains on offer.

Reserve prices for Thursday’s auction of Argentine artists start as low as 1,500 pesos ($380) and the biggest ticket work is Vito Campanella’s oil on canvas, “La Payada” , which starts with what the bank calls the “very tempting” price tag of 15,000 pesos ($3,800).

The bank’s first two auctions this year raised more than 4.4m pesos ($1.1m) and artworks have gone under the hammer for more than 50 per cent more than their reserve prices.

This experience in Argentina illustrates a wider trend: the rise of art as a new emerging asset class. Forget bonds, stocks, forex or even copper and soya. Bric art is booming, as this article highlights.

Latin American art was the best performing regional art index in the past 25 years at the end of 2009, according to Beautiful Asset Advisors, whose founders Jianping Mei and Michael Moses track the performance of fine art sales against equity market returns via their MeiMoses fine art indices.

Latin American art’s performance has sloped off this year - the following graph shows how it lags the resurgence in demand for post-war and impressionist works - but it remains “very vibrant and viable, especially as wealth continues to accumulate”, according to Mr Moses.

Castlestone Management, a UK fund manager which last year launched the first retail art fund, offering institutional and individual investors the opportunity to diversify out of traditional asset classes, says that when the value of money falls, the value of art, like that of gold, rises.

As its CEO Angus Murray, puts it, art is “an irreplaceable, unleveraged real asset which responds well in a time when the possibility of inflation is on the horizon alongside the rapid decline of the real purchasing power of money.”

Soaring bid and sales volumes at New York and London auctions since late last year prove confidence in the art market is back. “People haven’t suddenly become cultured, it’s a hedge against inflation and shows art is becoming more and more a respected asset class,” says Constanze Kubern, Castlestone’s senior art adviser.

Though “blue chip” artists can prove costly investments - Pablo Picasso’s “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust” sold for $106.5m in New York in May, setting a new world record - art gets good returns, as the following chart from Castlestone shows:

(click chart to enlarge)

And there is plenty of upside yet. Castlestone expects art prices to rise 40 per cent over the next couple of years as the market recovers from lows in 2009.

Emerging market and Latin American art was on the up before the 2009 economic downturn, and is now picking up steam again. Phillips de Pury, one of the other big auction house alongside Sotheby’s and Christie’s, held a Bric auction in London in April, and Latin American art was showcased in the Pinta art show in London in June, a expansion from Pinta’s roots in New York.

Bric and Latin art can be speculative and thus risky, and Castlestone doesn’t own any Latin American art yet - it focuses on the “golden middle” of post-war art where prices and returns are good. But Kubern said she had Colombian artist Fernando Botero on her shopping list.

So emerging market investors may want to grab their cheque books and rush to get seats at the October-November auction season in London and New York. And make sure they have enough cash left over for the ArtBasel fair in Miami Beach in December.

Argentina’s official language is Spanish

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:00:57 -0200

Argentina

Language

Neorealist Argentine authors Jorge Luis Borges, Beatriz Guido and Marta Lynch enliven a Buenos Aires caf in the 1960s.

Argentina’s official language is Spanish (here usually named castellano’ *Although Castellano is the form of Spanish spoken in Spain*’). There are many variations of Spanish in Argentina and every province has its own accent.

Rio de la Plata Spanish is the variation used in all cities near the Rio de la Plata river, the most well-known characteristic being the use of “vos” instead of “t” (”Voseo”). Some immigrant communities retain their own language as a badge of identity and languages such as Italian, German, English and French are spoken. The Welsh community of Patagonia have held an Eisteddfod, as well as the Basques, Arabs and Ukrainians. Recent immigrants from China and South Korea, who have established themselves in large cities like Buenos Aires and Rosario, also speak their own language among themselves, and some communities publish small-circulation newspapers in them.

Most Argentines can understand simple spoken Italian and Portuguese, due to their similarity to Spanish.

There are about 23 native languages spoken in different parts of the country, including Quechua, Mapuche, Guaran, Toba and Wich.

Music of Argentina

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:04:42 -0200

Music of Argentina

Tango

The best-known element of Argentine culture is the tango dance. In modern Argentina, tango music is enjoyed in its own right, especially since the radical stor Piazzolla redefined the music of Carlos Gardel. It should be noted that foreigners usually think of tango as the dance music, whilst for Argentines the word refers to both the music and the lyrics (often containing words and phrases in lunfardo, a local slang), which are a form of poetry.

Folf Music.

Folk music and dance are popular in provincial Argentina and are blends of various native and European styles. Examples include the chamam of Mesopotamia and the chacarera of Santiago del Estero.

Rock made in Argentina.

Since the 1970s Rock music has been widely appreciated in Argentina. First during the 1970s and then again in the mid 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, national rock music and pop music experienced bursts of popularity, with many new bands (such as Soda Stereo and Sumo) and composers (like Charly Garca and Fito Pez) becoming important exponents of national culture. National Rock and Pop then gave way to other genres, like Ska, Techno, Eurodance, Electronica and Argentine Cumbia. The wide variety of music to be heard in Argentina today is impossible to summarize in a short article; the opening up of the Argentine economy to international trade and the ready access to music downloaded from the Internet (most often illegally, through peer-to-peer networks) provide listeners with a diversity of choices. Rock music is currently the most popular form of music among younger Argentines.

Rock and Jazz.

A number of Argentine rock and jazz musicians have become well-known film score composers. Big band leader Lalo Schiffrin became internationally known after composing the Mission:Impossible theme in 1966. Emilio Kauderer has been composing for Argentine cinema since the 1970s and has created the film scores for Friends & Lovers and the Dead Like Me series, among others. The most successful Argentine film score writer is probably Gustavo Santaolalla who, well-established in the local rock scene since 1970, has earned two Academy Awards for his compositions since 2004.

Classic Music.

European classical music is also popular in Argentina. The Teatro Coln in Buenos Aires is considered to be one of the world’s major opera houses. Musicians such as pianist Martha Argerich and classical composers like Alberto Ginastera have become internationally renowned. Most of the nation’s larger cities and a number of smaller ones maintain concert halls, philharmonic orchestras and chamber music ensembles; among the best-known of these is Camerata Bariloche, founded in 1967 by Alberto Lysy.

Image courtesy of the Human Studies Film Archives. The Ransom Center recently received a grant from the Tinker Foundation, based in New York City, to restore and make accessible four films by Jorge Prelorán. The series, “The Argentine Gaucho Today,” resides in the Edward Larocque Tinker collection at the Ransom Center. Born to an Argentine father and Irish-American mother, Prelorán held both American and Argentine citizenship. He grew up in Buenos Aires, studied architecture and then film at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1961, began filming at the University of Tucumán, and moved to Los Angeles in 1976 to teach at UCLA until he retired in 1994. Prelorán died in 2009. A cultural icon in Argentina, Prelorán donated his archive to the Human Studies Film Archives at the Smithsonian Institution in 2008. He is celebrated for having developed a cinematic genre known as ethnobiography. What makes this grant special is that the Tinker Foundation provided the original grant to Prelorán to produce the films in 1961. “The Tinker Foundation has come full circle in that it supported the creation of the films, and now it is making certain that the films will continue to benefit students and scholars interested in documentary film well into the future,” said Steve Wilson, Curator of Film at the Ransom Center. “Not only will students and scholars be able to study the films at the Ransom Center, but through our collaborations with the Smithsonian Institution, they will also be available for exhibitions and dissemination via video, television, and the Internet,” he added. Prelorán’s interest in documentary film production was fueled by work in Hollywood as an assistant director for documentary films and television. In 1961, he received an opportunity to further develop his documentary talents: a $35,000 grant from the Tinker Foundation to make a film on gauchos in Argentina. In an interview, Prelorán recalled, “With $8,000, a borrowed jeep, and seven hours of film, I set out with Horst Cemi, also a UCLA graduate, to discover my country, Argentina.” The result was not one film, but a four-film series on the gauchos found in representative cattle raising areas. Among his many honors, Prelorán received the Golden Astor award for life achievement at the Mar del Plata Film Festival in Argentina (2005) and was also declared a Distinguished Citizen by the City of Buenos Aires (2005). In 2008, Prelorán was awarded the International Cinema Artist award by the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. A feature-length Argentine documentary film on Prelorán’s life’s philosophy, Huellas y Memoria (Footsteps and Memory), was released in 2009. Learn more about the Ransom Center’s film collections.

The Ransom Center film collection provides research opportunities for scholars working in history, music, popular culture, textual criticism, and film history and criticism. The collections include more than 10,000 scripts for film, television, and radio; more than 15,000 posters, lobby cards, and other advertising materials; and over a million photographs, including film stills, portrait and publicity photographs, set and location reference stills, makeup and wardrobe stills, and candid, behind-the-scenes photographs. Virtually all of the collections include correspondence, memos, production records, or business records. The bulk of the collection concerns mainstream Hollywood filmmaking from the silent era through the present day. Hollywood's Golden Age (1930-1950) is particularly well represented. Other archives relate to the Texas film industry, television, and radio.

Real Estates Development and boutique hotel in...

Mon, 9 Aug 2010 13:32:31 -0200

Real Estates Development and boutique hotel in the Villa of the Valley of Tulumba, known as an open-air Museum, Cordoba, Province in the heart of Argentina After the 2001 crisis in Argentina, the so called one to one economy was replaced by an other strategy: devaluation. This means that what on 2001 cost 200 pesos, or 200 dollars, nowadays is just 66.67 dollars. All prices have been rearranged considering this new economic plan that's been organized by the Argentinean government together with the IMF and the World Bank. And Real Estates are no exception, the proportion in which properties all over Buenos Aires have drawn depends of course on many factors, such as location, type of property, etc. At the same time the Argentinean economy has been reconditioned to work in a new configuration, a service area that has been growing ever since is tourism. All throughout the 90s visiting Buenos Aires -our capital city- or taking some time off at one of our magnificent sky centers in the Patagonia region was as expensive as touring through Rome, Paris or skiing in Switzerland. Nowadays for the exchange rate is so favorable towards the American or European currencies Argentina has become a much more appealing vacation resort. For those who love and enjoy great dinning, terrific sights in a dream holiday and don't want to be robbed off by the extraordinary high European rates this is the answer. No wonder the constant flow of visitors we've been having lately. At the same time judging by local and foreign statistics there's been a growth in two specific developing markets: business travel and more specifically collectors. They have long noticed the potential of locally produced items of yarn and are now taking on an increasingly growing market. This gorgeous metropolis has all the luxury and comfort to offer its visitors with high class lodging, delightful food and amazing cultural and social activities. However, within the developing collectibles market there's much to do. In terms of products and information, The Buenos Aires Toy Museum has been in the vanguard of information and items collection ( www.the-ba-toymuseum.com ).Working locally and in collaboration with American and European fellow collectors this museum has been rescuing this historical and cultural patrimony as well as recovering those amazing one of a kind vintage objects. The museum has been developing so far within the Internet. In the world of collectibles the globalized technology is our best allied for it allows us to connect worldwide with fellow collectors, exchange valuable data and items for our collections. To give the museum a physical location is the obvious next step in its evolution line. However, in these days the Museum's project has broadened into a collectors club. Considering the most favorable conditions within the specific market (collectibles), the evolution of Argentina's Real Estates market and the increasingly flow of tourists to these southern and beautiful lands we believe the best possible advance in this field is a boutique hotel. This hotel would be unique, for each room is in itself a personal show room with original vintage Argentinean collectibles. Our philosophy is simple, we truly believe in offering the top of the top comfort that one can surely get at any of the marvelous five stars hotels (Sheraton, Hilton, Four Seasons, etc) but within a very personalized atmosphere specially arranged to fit our visitors needs. The boutique and unique collectibles hotel would be located in one of Argentinean Provinces, Cordoba, in the heart of Argentina. This small village is an hour's drive from Cordoba's International airport, it's a tranquil Little open-air like Village-Museum, lost in time and space, surrounded by rolling foot hills of the Sierras Chicas of Cordoba, the old village, some 360 years old, reminds us all of the colonial and early 18th century past, an intense cultural and social atmosphere that makes this area the perfect location. The Buenos Aires collectibles boutique hotel is an outstanding inversion opportunity. The market's conditions couldn't be better. The timing is just as precise as it could ever be. This superb lodging is what Buenos Aires and its visitors need. Our Boutique unique hotel and collectors club would be the first one in Latin America, and there's no better place to start than Buenos Aires. For this port side city has historically been at the vanguard of Latin America's cultural and social development. A local unexplored market so far is awaiting to be updated to the world's latest trends in show rooms and lodging that will converge in this outstanding boutique hotel Latin American styled.
