Botero turned to sculpture

The Colombian artist Fernando Botero is primarily known for his exaggerated painted portrayals of people, a style that he also applied to his still-lifes and now goes by the name of Boterismo. He is also an accomplished sculptor, as can be seen by his bronze Still Life with Watermelon from 1976-77, which is one of the highlights at Van Ham in Cologne on December 2. Botero had painted several versions of the same subject in the previous years, one of which he transposed into a new medium.
