Bartolozzi was grouped in the sixties with Eduardo Arranz, Gerard Sala and Robert Llimós, and until 1982 he continued to work with Arranz, both of them being introducers of the "happening" in Catalonia. In 1980 he took part in the Venice Biennale. In 2007 the Bartolozzi Foundation was created in Vespella de Gaià, with the aim of collecting and disseminating his work, as well as promoting the work of new artists. He is also represented at the MACBA in Barcelona, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, the Contemporary Art Museums in Seville and Las Palmas and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Navarre, among others. Eduardo Arranz Bravo trained at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona between 1959 and 1962. He made his solo debut in 1961 at the University Club of Barcelona, but the exhibition that made him known to the Barcelona critics was the one organised by the Barcelona Athenaeum in 1961. Between 1968 and 1970 he formed part of the group made up of Gerard Sala, Robert Llimós and Rafael Lozano Bartolozzi. He continued to collaborate with the latter until 1982, alternating joint and solo exhibitions. His contact with these artists influenced his initially abstract style, which approached the new figuration and pop art.
