Barcelo Controversy
Barcelo often uses unconventional mediums in his art. In February 2008, Barcelo was the center of a controversy when the Prado museum in Spain said they were planning on adding his art to their exhibit alongside some of the museum's greatest artists, like Velazques, Goya and El Greco.Guardian Unlimited: Anger at Invitation to Contemporary Artist (February 13, 2004) -
