Fernando Botero's Art Opening
UC Berkeley, Room 190, Doe LibraryBerkeley

Fernando Botero, the most famous living Latin American artist, will
display his Abu Ghraib paintings at the University of California,
Berkeley. These 47 paintings and drawings belong to a long tradition of
artistic statements against war and violence that include Goya's
Caprichos and Picasso's Guernica.

Organized by the Center for Latin American Studies, these paintings
have never been displayed in a public institution in the United States.
The exhibit was "proposed to many museums in the U.S," according to the
artist, but all declined to show it. This will be the last chance to
view these works before they return to Europe.

"[These paintings] are among Mr. Botero's best work, and in an art
world where responses to the Iraq war have been scarce - literal or
obscure - they stand out." New York Times, 2006.
