FERNANDO BOTERO
A major exhibition that showcases work by one of the most honored Latin American artists working today, Fernando Botero includes a range of paintings, drawings and monumental sculpture that exemplify Botero's most familiar themes: commonplace scenes of everyday life, life in the bedroom, life of the streets and people rapt in the excitement of music or family activities. Throughout, Botero's characters are seen in their "Botero-esque" girth and grandeur. Work by this famed artist of Colombia were previously seen at the museum in a major 2005 exhibition. Fernando Botero, opening on March 13, 2010 and remaining on view through May 24, 2010, is sponsored by David Benrimon Fine Art LLC.
