BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - Spencer Tunick, famous for his photographs of huge groups of naked people, has beaten his own record when some 7,000 people posed nude for him in Barcelona.

From about 4 a.m. (2:00 a.m. British time) on Sunday, thousands of volunteers gathered in central Barcelona to strip off and be photographed lying down and kneeling in rows.

The Barcelona photos beat Tunick's last record of 4,500 snapped in Australia and while some 7,000 posed, more than twice that number initially signed up, the project manager said.

The New York-based artist has shot naked throngs around the world but his work has got him into trouble in the United States where he has been arrested several times, though not charged, for crimes such as lewd conduct and blocking pedestrian traffic.
