Catalogue Note
“A figure offers exceptional articulation, and its flexibility presents extraordinary possibilities. An apple or a bottle cannot be folded; a body can. My fascination with the human figure is proportionate to the freedom of using it to compose forms within a certain logic.”
Fernando Botero, Botero: Women, New York, Rizzoli Publications, 2003, p.167
