Topic: Art Dealer
All inclusive art & antique tour plus customized accommodation in Buenos Aires, with Bob Frassinetti.....


It’s well known that Argentina’s arts and antiques of great quality have positioned our country as the moment’s hot place for dealers and collectors. This country features a unique culture with the best influxes of Latin America and Europe.

Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city has always been a place where all the trends converge from Europe, the States and world wide locations. This country of immigrants was built upon influences, cultural and material brought by those newcomers from their motherlands back in the early days of our republic in the early 19th century.

The cultural treasures brought by the flow of Europeans from the East and the West, were early milestones for the art, antiques and collectibles markets to be.
But it was thanks to a local trend of wealth, distinction, and sophistication that outstanding old continent products and works of art, reached our southern shores. The all mighty argentine pampas field positioning our country as the World’s barn, its landlords and societal individuals linked it, would live in Argentina as if it was France, England, Germany or the Italian countryside. They bought everything back in the centres of culture, from art, and furniture to bathroom ware of all kind. In that way, the generations to come, had an early, strong and wonderful material and cultural heritage to develop upon.

Our rich melting pot history and culture paired to a strong Dollar and Euro, positions Argentina today as a paradise for art dealers and collectors from around the globe.
That’s why Bob Frassinetti Art & Antique Dealer has a perfect customized option for those who want more, those who wish to take the best advantage of this special market in the most effective, simple yet superb way.

Contemporary Argentine Art

Topic: Art
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind
which searches into nature and which there divines
the spirit of which Nature herself is animated.”
Auguste Rodin quotes




What is contemporary art besides de chronological definition…We believe is the synthetic expression thru means of artistic tools of our historical time, our epoch, its own cultural necessities. Different art types are possible in different time eras, because these are a cultural response to a state of life, thought and feelings.

Art, in all its forms has always been an interpretation of reality. Given the tools humanity developed throughout time, the ways in which life, thought and action –reality as a wholesome- were recorded artistically depended upon them.
The singular interpretation of reality by art has and still is shaping it as no other discipline, the subjective relationship of man and its surroundings.

Art has always been a relationship between the subjective and time, a given moment, a determined society. Art is never a-temporal, thought it might seem like that… Even the so-called timeless works, are timed. Never in history was a given art-work been admired and appreciated alike throughout the centuries and decades. Hence, what we’re producing currently as art is and will be a reflection of a moment in time –explicitly or implicitly- regardless the means of appropriation whether if its abstraction, lyricism, realism, etc…

In Argentina, the turning point in what can be addressed as contemporary art can be spotted around the 50s. It was then, when Modernity Vanguards were taking up the stage of world art. Latin American identity was developing within its limits returning to itself, to its sense of uniqueness; having being born under the aegis of European influx and developed in the margins of an outer world, it was throughout its institutional and borderline non institutional developments that it began to look inside its self sense of aesthetics and culture, stories and histories…The necessity of updating the artistic language so broadly expressed within the world’s art scene, it was also felt in the Latin sub continent. But that need bumped into a deeper conflict, that is the local and the foreign, the indigenous and the European. There’s an identity conflict which was once conceived as fixed, steady, permanent, anchored far away from the present, beholding the possibility of change and reality character for itself and no one but its immediate world. But, when the winds of change came, the possibility of subverting the given state of art, revolution of techniques, conceptions, ideas, reality that was to be fixated on canvass has been found to be pure constant evolution…

Artists then began to be an introspect to there proper souls… This syntax of a problem would come to a solution only two decades latter after it was first conceived as an issue that needed solution.

The seventies provided a rich era of thought and philosophy, and the new logical conceptions provided the conceptual troubled artists –those who felt as being pulled from global to local and back to universal- an interesting way out: identity appeared as a synthesis, multicultural, multi ethnic, hybrid. It was the opportunity of incorporating more universal like mediums and languages, featuring local contents and traditions, self imposed desires. The result was a true new meaning of universal sources, understood and defined from the immediate concrete onwards; the new identity conception gave birth to a new sort of Latin American and argentine art.

What were definitive answers, radical transformations or global synthesis, became individual resolutions of contemporary art, that art of the multiple, the diverse, the use of the own and that of the other, the popular and the traditional, the new and the old techniques, the modern and the contemporary blend into the self need of expression, using all available means and tools, creating the ones that weren’t there yet.

Contemporary Argentine artists such as Vito Campanella and Leopoldo Torres Aguero, each within its field, within its view of the world and the techniques and style that they developed to be their own, are a living example of these trends we pointed out above.



Vito Campanella


Leopoldo Torres Aguero


Francisco Adaro, a young Argentine artist whose works are evolving greatly in these days, exhibits the above mentioned synthesis, of style between the own and the foreign, the traditional and the avant-garde styles. While Monique Rozanes has synthesized modernity in her sculptures of contemporary art.

Helmut Ditsch and Guillermo Kuitka, each in their own personal style have conquered the world with their outstanding technique, imagination as well as artistic conception. Both argentine, both unique, each brilliant in his own world of significances, admirers and collectors…

Contemporary Argentine Art is not only prolific, but in its own, unique, with a true sense of aesthetic self conception shaped upon the endless conceptual canvases. Its outstanding growth in the local and international art scene, in strong art centers such as France, England, United States, Germany and Latin American capitals of great artistic feel… The Argentine contemporary art is not only up to the challenge of today’s art scene, but it’s presenting a self statement of style, conception and concept.
