Grand Prize (acquisition) at 103rd Salon Nacional de Artes Visuales

One of the photographs of the CONCRETO exhibition has been awarded the Great Prize (Acquisition) at the most important visual arts competition in Argentina, that is the Salon Nacional. This contest has been held for more than a century (this year is # 103) and is organised by the Ministry of Culture, dependent of National Presidency. It is divided in various disciplines, one of which is Photography. Sydney 2013 #1 was chosen as the very first prize and will be part of the cultural heritage of Argentina. This is why it is called Acquisition. I am very proud right now and happy as well. There will be an exhibition at the Palais de Glace in Recoleta, opening June 10 until July 9th.
