What a whirlwind of people flooding into the Fundación's elegant galleries last night for the opening of the show! More than two hundred people came, with at least five languages being spoken and circles of friends interlocking with other circles of friends. Lovely! Fundación Barceló staff and Barceló family members were there, as well as the press and representatives of the Balearic and Mallorcan governments. Artists came too - always a compliment.
l to r. President and Vice President of the Barceló Foundation, Maria Antonia Barceló and Antonia Barceló (with Jeannine between the ladies), together with the representative of the President of the Balearic Government, the Director General of Relations with Parliament, Beatriz Gamundí, and sculptor Gastón Luciano Bonanno who was showing his work separately.
