For 22 years now, every May, Buenos Aires opens its Art Fair. Success is guaranteed and it's mostly due to the general visitors. It's the only time in the year when you get to see artworks up-close, take pictures of them and ask their selling price. Museums always impose a certain distance and works are certainly not on sale. Art galleries might sometimes seem intimidating. An art fair breaks all those distance barriers.  This year's edition of ArteBA showcased artists of all kinds... Among them, were:
