Watching
Plata Nativa's shop window at its store strategically located on Florida
street,
the oldest and one of the busiest pedestrian only thoroughfares in Buenos
Aires,
is like peeping into the origins of Latin America.
Its
shelves are packed with objects evoking history, magic, rites and ceremonies:
religious images, reliquaries, charms, domestic altars, paintings of
past centuries' and present crafts.
This
is in fact a non conventional art gallery exhibiting ancient pre-Columbian,
colonial and contemporaneous indigenous pieces including a Modern Collection
of Jewelry
made of silver and semi-precious stones, which is a landmark in the
itinerary of tourists,
collectors and businessmen from all over the world
who appreciate South American popular art.
"Popular
Art is the soul and artistic conscience of a people,
is the infinite heirloom of generations of great artists,
artisans and craftsmen who, since the IV or III century BC,
expressed their sensitivity by engraving, modeling, weaving, sculpting,
carving or casting useful and graceful pieces
which elevate us to superior levels of the world of beauty
created by Latin American men and women."
(Felipe Cossio del Pomar ).
