Campo Weekend Buenos Aires. Paradise in Lobos, Buenos Aires, Argentina. We tend to think in terms of people owning real estate. Casa de Lord is a piece of real estate that takes ownership of a person. It simply consumes you in the best of ways. My two-and-a-half days there left me feeling as if I had spent a two week vacation there. Then came Monday….when can I make my next campo weekend in Buenos Aires….I need to go back!

It is incredible paging through this magnificent book; one can see how Poupee´s style has changed over the years. I myself am lucky to have three of her works and they are totally different. I invite everybody who has some of her work to come and look for their piece on the book. The event is at the posh Rubbers International Art Gallery on Alvear Avenue. Some of her latest paintings will be on display. Hope to see you there to toast to my aunt´s success.
