Günter Grass’s Exhibition – Official Opening on March 4th –


Available till 28 th March at Clásica y Moderna.


On March 4 th at Clásica y Moderna Books Shop, I could attend to the official opening of Günter Grass’ Exhibition “The Halibut”, an exhibition of 25 pictures in lithography of the German writer and Nobel Price.

Mr. Hernán Lombardi, Minister of Culture at Buenos Aires Government, opened the event remembering his reading about Grass and talking about the importance of Books Shops as a tradition of Buenos Aires.
A moment later, Carlos Clerici, a well known journalist and a “voice” of Buenos Aires Radio Shows read the first chapter of “The Halibut”, and also commented about the coordination of arts, literature and foods in Grass’s Roman and the mix that we felt at Clásica y Moderna, a Book Shop, Art Place, Musical Place and Restaurant of Buenos Aires.

At the end we enjoyed the charming champagne Freixenet.

Drawing, Lithography and Painting are fresh air for Günter Grass, German writer and Nobel Price, who in 1977 started to add his paintings as illustrations of his books.

A group of 25 pictures are in the "The Halibut EXHIBITION", which we are able to see from 2nd till 28 March in the Café “ Clásica y Moderna”. This exhibition is under the Patronage from Goethe Institut and was shown in Europe and Latin America.

The pictures show faces, fishes, beetles, mushrooms and shells. During the Exhibition the public will be invited to read Grass’s works.
