Good Holiday Reading: Miquel Barcelo at the UN

December 22nd, 2008 | Painting, Sculpture/Installation

Here’s a fantastic piece from one of VoCA’s favorite blogs – Designboom – on one of VoCA’s all-time favorite artists, the Spaniard Miquel Barceló’s latest art installation in the UN’s Palace of Nations in Geneva.

We have admired the painter since we saw a retrospective of his work at the Richard Meier-designed contemporary art museum in Barcelona in 1997, and we look forward to seeing what he comes up with for the 2009 Venice Biennale, where he will represent Spain.
