Botero

Fernando Botero
4 May - 18 July 2010

One of the most singular artists of the 21st century, Fernando Botero met Turkish art lovers for the first time at the Pera Museum with an exhibition comprising a selection of 64 works. Botero has brought a new interpretation to the aesthetics of our times, and the exhibition depicted this interpretation in six sections - the circus, the bullfight, Latin American people, Latin American life, still lifes and versions from past masters of the history of art. The works of the Colombian artist contain many references to his own culture and life, and in a unique style they question the concept of beauty in our century.
