The Baroque World of Fernando Botero
September 12–December 6, 2009

Colombian artist Fernando Botero’s unique style is recognized and renowned world-wide for its voluminous forms and sensuous figures. Equally comical, as they are critical, these works take on themes of religion, politics, history, and contemporary life in Latin America through portraiture, still-life, and sculpture. The Baroque World of Fernando Botero includes more than 100 works of art dating from the 1950’s to the present and compiled from the artist’s personal collection—many of which have never before been seen in public. This traveling exhibition is organized by Art Services International.
