Description: September 12–December 6, 2009 The Baroque World of Fernando Botero is the first major U.S. retrospective presented in more than 30 years by Columbian artist Fernando Botero (b. 1932). Recognized world-wide for his unique style of voluminous forms and sensuous figures, Botero’s work often takes on subjects related to religion, politics, and history with a critical and comical approach. All the works are generously on loan from the artist’s personal collection and many have never before been seen in public. The exhibition features 100 paintings, sculptures, and drawings, dating from the 1950s to the present, of Botero’s favorite works as well as pieces he reacquired years after they left his possession. Location, Hours, and Admission: The Bowers Museum is located at 2002 North Main Street, Santa Ana, CA 92706. Open hours are: Tuesday–Sunday, 10 am–4 pm. Admission is $12 adults; $9 students and seniors over 62; and children under 6 are free. For more information, call 714.567.3600 or log on to www.bowers.org.
