  • Exhibition: Fernando Botero. Abu Ghraib – the Circus IVAM Institut
    Exhibition: Fernando Botero. Abu Ghraib – The Circus IVAM Institut Valencià d’Art Modern 20 May 2008 – 6 July 2008 Organized by: Institut Valencià d’Art Modern Curator: Fernando Castro In collaboration with: Itinerary: IVAM (May – July 2008) Casa das Artes, Vigo (October – December 2008) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The IVAM, in collaboration with Fundación Caixa Galicia, has organized the exhibition Fernando Botero. Abu Ghraib – The Circus , which presents two recent series by this Colombian artist. The exhibition consists of a total of 95 works: 25 paintings and 24 drawings belonging to the series Circus , and 24 paintings and 22 drawings from the series Abu Ghraib . The first of these two series derives from Botero’s interest in the circus world, which in the past inspired other artists such as Calder, Picasso, Léger and Chagall. Botero portrays people traditionally associated with this activity, giving them the special monumental physiognomy characteristic of his style. In the second series, Abu Ghraib , Botero represents the tortures to which prisoners of war were subjected in the infamous prison in Iraq. After reading a critical article published in The New Yorker which attracted worldwide attention, Botero worked for a year to express his denunciation of the drama of the torture suffered by the prisoners. The catalogue published to accompany the show contains illustrations of the works exhibited and includes texts by the director of the IVAM, Consuelo Císcar, the president of Fundación Caixa Galicia, Mauro Varela Pérez, the art historian Ángel Kalenberg and the critic Fernando Castro Flórez, curator of the exhibition. The Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero (Medellín, Colombia, 1932) is considered one of the most important living Latin American artists and the most highly valued.

  • The Botero Museum and Bogotá: Branding History and Place
    The Botero Museum and Bogotá: Branding History and Place. Abstract Place branding is an increasingly important driver of local, regional and national positioning and economic prosperity. Key to the success of place branding is a strong, identifiable, recognisable and sustainable focal point of interest or experiential value add. The current study reports on the Botero Museum in Bogota Colombia that is dedicated to the country’s most famous and internationally successful artist. We report on a series of qualitative interviews that explored tourists’ perceptions of Colombia in general and Bogota in particular as a result of their museum experience. Results showed a positive change of country and city perception. 1. Introduction One of the most visited museums in Bogotá is the Museo Botero (Botero Museum). Located in a renovated colonial house in the heart of Bogotá’s historical center, it offers visitors a collection of unique quality. The museum is one of the highlights of the city and a popular tourist attraction. The quality of the collection includes, not only Botero´s pieces, but it also several works by Picasso, Chagall, Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, Dali and Miró. This paper examines the impact and effect of the museum on tourists’ perception of the city of Bogotá and more broadly, Colombia. It investigates whether the museum has a direct impact on the city’s place branding. Place branding, the process of image communication to a target market regarding aspects of a place, can be seen as public administration’s efforts to facilitate, create and develop place brands or harness and consolidate these networks of place associations in a target group’s mind.

  • Fernando Botero's "Abu Ghraib" As a Response to Affect Theory and the Moral Utopia of Human Rights." MLN 129, No
    Washington and Lee University No Strings Attached: Fernando Botero’s Boy Playing Guitar in Context by Darcy L. Olmstead On my honor, I have neither given nor received any unacknowledged aid on this thesis. 5 April 2021 Acknowledgements: I would like to start by thanking Professor Andrea Lepage for not only advising me on this year-long project, but being a supportive and understanding friend in an especially tumultuous period in all of our lives. I never expected to be writing my senior thesis over Zoom, but Professor Lepage made the process feel organic and engaging. I cannot thank you enough for being such an amazing mentor. I would also like to thank Lindsey Hewitt, one of my best friends and my favorite art historian. There is no other person I’d rather commiserate with over thesis deadlines and general senior year stress. If the Leyburn librarians hadn’t put our locked study rooms next to each other, I would probably have given up on this thesis in October. Thanks for always believing in me and laughing at, with, and despite me. Another big thank you to my friend Gabriela Gomez-Misserian, her father Carlos Gomes Uribe, and his father Marcos Gomez-Agnoli for helping me with important connections to all things Fernando Botero and Bogotá. In a time when travel was impossible, your contribution to this thesis was enormous. I would also love to thank Patricia Hobbs and the Museums at Washington and Lee University for giving me access to the University's collection and its archives. Ms. Hobbs and Richard Kramer both were extremely helpful in helping me to understand Boy Playing Guitar and its provenance.

  • Fernando Botero
    FERNANDO BOTERO Biography, Bibliogrphy, Exhibition Biography Fernando Botero Angulo was born on April 19, 1932, in Medellín, a regional centre in the province of Antioquia, high up in the Colombian Andes. Fernando attends primary school and is awarded a scholarship that enables him to continue his education at the secondary school in Medellín. His uncle, a passionate devotee of bullfighting, sends him at age twelve to a school of tauromachy, where he remains for the next two years. The bullring is the main subject of Fernando’s early drawings; his first recorded painting is a watercolour of a toreador. In 1948 Botero shows his works in public for the first time in an exhibition in Medellín of work by artists from the province of Antioquia. At age eighteen, he begins to draw illustration for the Sunday supplement of “El Colombiano”, Medellín’s principal newpaper. In January 1951, Botero moves to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, where he quickly gains access to the avant-garde circle that meet at the Cafè Automatica. Only five months after his arrival in Bogotá, Botero holds his first one-man exhibition at the Leo Matiz Gallery. In 1952, his painting “On the Coast” earns him second prize in he Ninth Salon of Colombian Artists, held at the Biblioteca Nacional in Bogotá. The prize money of 7,000 pesos enables Botero to travel to Europe. Botero moves to Madrid, where he enrolls at the Academia San Fernando. In the Prado he encounters the works of the Spanish masters Velásquez and Goya, which he uses as models for his paintings.
