In my six years in Buenos Aires I've had the honor of meeting many artists whose work I admire, but not many who make me feel that, without question, I wish I had one of her paintings on my wall so I could look at it every day.Painter silvia gurfein is one, and she opens in a group show of women artists in the rosario contemporary art museum on March 4. I wish I could be there to see it... and that is my wish for today.

Parafraseando el antiguo proverbio inglés que "si los deseos fueran caballos, los mendigos serían jinetes"... girlontape dice: "si los deseos fueran pinturas, tendría un gurfein en mi pared."
Esta gran pintora argentina inaugura mañana en una muestra de artistas mujeres, por la curadoría de roberto echen, en el museo macro de rosario.
