Pop Art Icon Marta Minujin Gets Married to Art


Here at Pop Trash Beauty we adore a beautiful love Story.  A Pop Art Icon Marta Minujn celebrated her 70th birthday by getting married to art.  I read this in the Huffington post had to share this with you.  She wore a white gown also celebrated with a big pink wedding cake.  I've been trying to find unconventional love stories for  Valentines Day . The Huffington Post reported 

" The "Andy Warhol" of Buenos Aires donned a white dress, tossed a bouquet, and toasted above a giant pink cake at theMALBA museum, joining in matrimony with the profession that made her famous, for all 300 of her wedding guests to see.
Minujin, famous for recreating the Buenos Aires obelisk in fruit cake, planned the birthday/wedding to raise money for the museum's educational programs, so there's no need to compare her stunt to the Art Guys who are now happily married to a plant." ( via the Huffington Post ) 
Here is some of Minujins brilliant work  

Weddings for fundraisers seem to be a new trend. Dog nuptials are on the rise in the name of charity. One made headlines as the most expensive Canine wedding in history. Everything was donated by participating vendors. The wedding actually made the Guinness book of World Records . Guest bought tickets to the event and all the proceeds went to the Humane Society of New York.  I've posted the video below for your enjoyment.
