Campo Weekend Buenos Aires – Get Away from the City

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!

Chez moi, art has always been present. Both my aunt (my photograph is of her painting) Poupee Tessio and my brother Mariano Airaldi are artists, and my mother is their unofficial Theo van Gogh as well as a furnisher restaurateur . As for my father, the ambassador, he is a collector of old photography and is responsible together with my mother for a very interesting collection of argentine paintings. My sister and I are starting collections thanks to the great prices, our aunt´s “donations” and the great talent young talent in Argentina. 11TH ANNUAL EXPOTRASTIENDAS is an art fair organized annually by the Argentine Association of Galleries since 2001.
