A major retrospective dedicated to Botero in Rome

Coming to the Complesso del Vittoriano - Ala Brasini is the first major monographic exhibition in Italy dedicated to the art of Fernando Botero.

From May 5 to August 27, 2017, about fifty of his paintings spanning more than fifty years of his career (1958 - 2016) will be on display on the occasion of his recent 85th birthday.

His world-renowned works are characterized by the presence of “robust” people and animals, an unmistakable trait of the artist, and a dreamlike and fantastic dimension.

The retrospective is curated by Rudy Chiappini in close collaboration with the artist and is organized and produced by Gruppo Arthemisia and MondoMostreSkira.
