UN Unveils New Painting
"An intricate ceiling painting worth 18m euros [$23m] has been unveiled at the United Nations offices in Geneva. The coloured dome took Spanish artist Miquel Barcelo more than a year to produce, using 100 tons of paint with pigments from all over the world... However, the Spanish opposition party has criticised the country's government for spending some public money on it." BBC 11/19/08
