'''The Incident:''' During a competition held annually by the Centro de Artes Visuales del Instituto Di Tella, its director Jorge Romero Brest denied the exhibition of Ferrari's ''La Civilizaciõn...''. He was however permitted to exhibit three other works criticizing the Vietnam war. In a Sept. 9, 1965 article in La Prensa, the conservative critic E. Ramallo attacked Ferrari's work, resulting in the remaining work being removed from the exhibition. | '''The Incident:''' During a competition held annually by the Centro de Artes Visuales del Instituto Di Tella, its director Jorge Romero Brest denied the exhibition of Ferrari's ''La Civilizaciõn...''.
