"Few artists created a style as immediately recognizable as Fernando Botero, Colombia's most celebrated painter and sculptor. His hyperinflated figures, semi-satirical pastiches of old masters, and his cast of bullfighters, bishops, guerrillas, and gangsters form some of the most unique works in the world. art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Botero's art is a compelling, often humorous exploration of power, politics and art in contemporary Latin America," describes the Colombian artist's auction house on its website.

The auction will also include 60 lots by historical artists of Latin American art such as Diego Rivera, Fernando de Szyslo and Carlos Garaicoa.
