Originally paisa (Medellín, Colombia), Botero revolutionized Latin America’s contemporary art world with his paintings and sculptures, which currently reside in various private collections, museums and art galleries around the world.
The voluptuous figures, the artist’s signature style, haven’t only offered a fresh perspective on modernism, but they have also forever changed our understanding of art history.
The gallery has been lucky enough to obtain some of his works throughout the years, and we hope to be able to honor his impactful career again.
Below we share two news articles with more information on the life and work of Fernando Botero:
El País – “Botero, Colombiano Universal”
La Vanguardia – “Fernando Botero, maestro de las tradiciones colombianas y un artista universal”
