BARBARA BRÄNDLI, FROM THE OTHER SIDE
The trajectory of Barbara Brändli (Schaffhousen, Switzerland 1932 - Caracas, Venezuela, 2011) in photography requires a conscientious analysis of several points. Without stopping at them, it is very likely to miss the reason for her approach, her vision that transcends the documentary as a simple objective or her contributions to that world that she began to consolidate in that Venezuela of welcome on her arrival in South America from her native Switzerland.
PARAGUAY: AN EXPANDING ART MARKET
Paraguay is rarely mentioned when discussing the global art market, but this might change in the coming years due to its growing activity in the contemporary art sector. This activity is primarily driven by local galleries, which, aware of the cultural isolation the country has experienced for many years, are actively promoting local collecting and seeking to promote their artists through fairs and participation in events like the current Pinta Sud|ASU.
