A Fernando Botero’s Fat Animal Sculptures Style Horse Design, a figurative painter and sculptor born in Colombia, leaves the foundry today. The sculpture originally cast in Mariani Foundry in Italy was exhibited at the Scheringa Museum of Realist Art in the Netherlands Spanbroek, North Holland Province.
At present Christie’s auction has reached a maximum of 1 million dollars. This huge equestrian sculpture is over 8 1/2 feet tall. Polich Tallix corrected the deep brown patina and applied bronze with a new wax coat.
It is in the arrival area of El Prat Airport (Terminal 2B) in Barcelona. Fernando Botero’s Fat Animal Sculptures Style Horse Design is a popular meeting place for travelers. A slightly spherical body and legs that swell excessively make the statue quite impressive and give it what I can describe as an advanced “Trojan Horseshoes”.
Fernando Botero was born in Colombia in 1932. He trained to be a bullfighter as a boy before he discovered that his real occupation was art. His first solo exhibition was held in Medellin in 1948, after which he moved to Bogotá.
In the 1950s, Botero moved to Madrid, where he studied at San Fernando University, and then moved to New York where he developed his trademark style. In 1973 he moved to Paris and began to create his now-famous fat sculpture.
