ART MIAMI HIGHLIGHTS
• Art of the World Gallery, Houston, will debut a masterpiece from one of the world’s greatest living artists, Fernando Botero. Few can claim the ubiquity of Fernando Botero, an artist whose oeuvre is instantly recognizable and internationally revered. The sensuous, voluptuous curves and exaggerated forms of his figures are emblematic of an artist whose practice spans generations, techniques, and continents. With an artistic trajectory of over six decades, he is one of the world’s most prolific artists and is one of the few who creates works across almost all mediums. Exhibited all over the world, he has the honor of being the living artist who has had the most museum exhibitions, the most books written about him, and the most films made. He is still actively working today.
