Over 3,200 photos will be on display now through Sunday at the Palais de Glace.
Today the sixth edition of Buenos Aires Photo, Latin America’s most important photography show, opens to the public at Recoleta’s Palais de Glace. Between now and the 31st of October, the works of over 150 artists from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Spain, the United States, Perú and Uruguay will be on display and the forty participating galleries are exhibiting the photos by their artists throughout the two stories of the Palais de Glace.
Over 3,200 photographs,  ranging from landscapes to portraits and still lifes to abstract images, cover the walls of the venue. Their subjects evoke a wide range of emotion as they touch on poverty, sexuality, and nature, among others. Each night, the Programa Auditorio Fundación Deloitte will put on roundtable discussions where special guests will delve into some of the questions and pressing issues that affect the world of photography, such as photography and the art market and the reconciliation of history and contemporary art.
The American Express Foundation donated $20,000 USD to the Asociación Amigos de MALBA for the acquisition of works from BA Photo. Liliana Porter’s “Red with him” and Nicola Constantino’s “Autoretrato Nicola según Berni” were chosen by MALBA’s selection committee.
