Botero: Beloved Artist of the Americas is a community-wide celebration focusing on the work of one of South America’s most well known and well loved artists, Fernando Botero.
Botero’s work resonates with the beauty, passion, violence and pain that define the essence of Colombia. The celebration is a collaborative project of the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Southwest School of Art & Craft, the San Antonio Public Library Foundation and public television station KLRN.
San Antonio, one of the country’s most distinctive cultural centers, with a deep, enduring pride in Hispanic arts and artists, will be the first U.S. stop on a long-anticipated retrospective exhibition entitled The Baroque World of Fernando Botero, which features Botero’s paintings, prints and sculptures from the artist’s personal collection.
