About the artwork

This horse sculpture melded from bronze is an exquisite piece on a square pedestal. Botero, known for inventing his signature style - Boterismo - presents curvaceous edges with origins of Colombian heritage. Perhaps it is Colombia’s horseback riding that propels Botero to carve this stubby horse for its impressive physique and muscular prowess.

Rounded from convention, distinctive in spite of the commonplace, and tied to Colombian history and heritage - his curvaceous forms have reached monumental heights, and are collected by major museums, corporations and private collectors all over the world, including the United States, Korea, and Mexico City, to name a few.
