Featuring 20
never–before exhibited paintings and sculptures – all selected
specially for this exhibition by Botero, one of the most known and admired
artists alive today – this will be Botero’s first solo
presentation at Art Basel Hong Kong.
Botero is, in the best sense
of the word, a classical painter and sculptor working in a distinctive and
contemporary context. His unique, recognizable style, a necessary hallmark
of every great master, is universally recognized, admired and adored.
Botero’s works are loved throughout Europe, Russia, the Middle and
Far East, as well as the Americas. The work has the magic of operating
independently from cultural and religious backgrounds. His paintings and
sculptures are rooted deeply in the art history of the west, but their
international resonance is born of Botero’s unique ability to create
timeless tableau that traverse standard perceptions of place based culture.
A new, fully illustrated, publication from Galerie Gmurzynska will
include an interview with Botero as well as documentary pictures from his
personal archive. Written in both English and Chinese it will be presented
for the first time at Art Basel Hong Kong.
His personal curation
has brought together some of the most important and enchanting works he has
completed, and the personal interview and in-depth appendix in this book
will continue to provide scholastic inspiration on the sources, themes and
motivations for his work as a whole.
For all media inquiries,
interview request for Mr. Botero and Mathias Rastorfer, co-owner of
