The 52nd Venice Biennale, the world's oldest and highest-profile
international art exhibition, is opening to the public in northern
Italy. Seventy-two countries are competing for the top prize - the
Golden Lion. For the first time there are separate pavilions devoted to
African and Roma, or Gypsy, art.
The first Biennale was held in 1887. Since then the biennial fair has
featured the work of artists such as Pablo Picasso and Gustav Klimt. It
also helped Henry Moore - who won the prize for sculpture in 1948 - to
launch his career.
