Where To See and Celebrate Ferdinand Botero's Fat ladies, Funny Men and Absurd Animals: Fernando Botero's Sculptures, Beryl Cook pictures and saucy postcards

Fernando Botero

Sculptor Fernando Botero is over 80 years old and during his long life has produced numerous striking sculptures.

The first Botero sculpture I noticed was in Singapore inside the outdoor shopping mall beside Buona Vista MRT train station. A big bold black horse. Smooth sculpture. Impressive, imposing, memorable, monumental. Strong. Curvaceous.
