Fernando Botero

Medellín, 1932

 

The museum has a set of 123 works by Fernando Botero, the second largest collection of works by this artist, behind only the existing one in the Antioquia Museum. It is composed of oil paintings, pastels, blood, drawings and sculptures, executed mainly in the last twenty years. The production of Botero between the decades of 1940 and 1960 is not represented.

 

Among the highlights of the collection is the famous Botero version of Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, part of the first series of works on violence in Colombia (Pablo Escobar, Tirofijo, Carrobomba, La Masacre de Mejor Esquina, etc.). On the second floor, the museum preserves a collection of small and medium-sized sculptures, executed in bronze and marble.
