Watching recently an Anthony Bourdain " No Reservations - Argentina " episode I discovered ( don't know how! I never heard of her before ) this great artist..She is to me the female version of Warhol, my favorite artist of all times. I find myself inspire everyday by Warhol's artwork and now this female goddess
:: Marta Minujin :: who makes Art to liberate you. Her relationship with Warhol began when they met an art gallery during his stay in New York. Besides he shared the artistic atmosphere of the time.In 1985 he made famous in the photographic work that pays the American artist, Argentina's external debt with corn, in his words "Latin American gold."
"I took all the corn, I did a mountain, put two chairs and had her ten photos. I grabbed the corn, he was up, I offered him and he accepted it. That debt was paid. Thinking that I was the queen of pop around here and he, the king of pop there, it made sense to acquit the debt. then gifted the corn people signed. That was the last time I saw him. He died two years later. "
