The exhibition, defined by Nader as "a remarkable cultural affair and multimedia experience," will feature Botero's iconic body of work from the 60's to the present day through interactive 360º digital projections, lights, music, and sounds. Guests will witness a selection of significant pieces representing his oeuvre over the last six decades, such as the circus personages, bullfighting, life in Latin America and its people, and adaptations of the work of art history masters. Botero's narratives go beyond the represented object; a single image is full of connotations, and it may take spectators to a vast and unique universe of experiences.
The Nader Museum, with over 1200 works of art from over 150+ important modern and contemporary masters, is compromised to elevate the importance of our culture by promoting excellence, a work performed by his founder Gary Nader for over 40 years.
