Summary:

The work of contemporary Colombian artist Fernando Botero is well known throughout the world. His exaggerated rendering of fleshy human, animal, and still-life figures has become an unmistakable characteristic of his style. This beautifully illustrated volume is one of the few to focus solely on Botero's sculpture, which provides an ideal medium for his exploration of space and volume. The book showcases works in small and medium format as well as the famous monumental works that have made Botero the leading sculptor of the 20th century.
