About the Item
FERNANDO BOTERO (Medellín, Colombia, 1932) for ARTIKA.
"Botero's women", 2018.
Unique, limited, and numbered edition of 2998.
Includes Art Book, Study Book and sculpture-case.
Measurements: 24 x 18 1/2 x 4 in (case).
The artist's book "Botero's women" covers Botero's artistic career, paying special attention to one of the artist's most recurrent themes: the female figure. The edition is made up of three pieces: the Art Book, the Study Book and a sculpture-case that holds the two volumes. The sculpture-case has been created specifically to house this unique edition. It is a handcrafted piece, making it a work of art in its own right. Its front features a detail of the painting Cabeza, painted by the artist in 2006, in which a slight relief can be seen, a tribute to the volume so characteristic of Fernando Botero's paintings and sculptures.
As for the Art Book, the centrepiece of the work, it opens with a foreword by Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, written especially for this edition. It contains 45 plates with drawings personally selected by Fernando Botero. Two types of paper have been used for printing, a watercolour paper and a handmade paper, which imitates the amate paper used by the artist in some of his works.
The drawings show multiple female figures, all of them suggestive, sensual and deeply expressive. The drawings are accompanied by quotations from short stories published by Botero in the 1980s, which provide an introduction to the artist's universe.
The Study Book, in a bilingual Spanish-English edition, explores Botero's work in greater depth, giving an insight into the scope of a universal painter. The professor of Art History, Lourdes Cirlot, presents some of the most characteristic aspects of the master's work, such as a detailed study of the role of women in Botero's art, the importance of drawing for the artist and his influences. It also includes a chapter devoted to an analysis of the drawings in Botero's Las mujeres, a detailed study of their composition, technique, subject matter and symbolism. These specially written texts are accompanied by an exclusive interview with Fernando Botero.
Fernando Botero is the best-known contemporary Colombian artist, the author of a totally personal figurative language, marked by exalted volumetry. He made his debut at the age of sixteen, and since then has shown his work all over the world. He is currently represented in the Museum that bears his name in Bogotá, as well as in the Metropolitan, the MoMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Art Collection of the Luis Ángel Arango Library in Colombia, the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna, the Kunsthalle and the Staatsgalerie in Munich, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile, the Museums of Modern Art in Bogotá, Tokushima, Hiroshima and the Vatican, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg and the Scheringa de Spanbroek in the Netherlands, among many other public and private collections around the world. It also has numerous public monuments in cities such as Madrid, Tokyo, Singapore, Paris and New York, among others.

Fernando Botero
Fernando Botero Angulo was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor, born in Medellín in 1932. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo," depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece.
Botero was for years considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Self-appointed "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, Botero came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. He began creating sculptures after moving to Paris in 1973, achieving international recognition with exhibitions across the world by the 1990s. His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors.
In 2012, Botero received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.
