Today, Jan 9,2025 on our trip to New York from Los Angeles my son and I visited El Museo del Barrio !!! My son was so so amazed and surprised to find the art of Magdalena's there. My son had just became familar with her art. He had come across her book, The Finest Disregard at a book store in Boyle heights. He found Magdalena's art and creations to be comforting. They brought a smile to his face and joy!! What incredible luck for us both to be fortunate to see Magdalena's art in person!!! As well it brought me great joy to see my son's excitement. We loved the Minnie Mouse holding her prada purse , the drawing of The Piñata with the kids holding El Palo ready to hit . Her sculptures which are so fun to admire. Saludos Magdalena ❤️ Siga adelante!! "Getting into trouble" like you mentioned in this video . We do what we like to do !! Bendiciones 💗
