Communic’Art has created the catalogue for the exhibition “Fernando Botero, A Still Life Retrospective”, to be exhibited at Custot Gallery Dubai from 12 November 2018 to 10 February 2019. 

In its 72 pages, the catalogue presents an ensemble of 30 never-before-seen still life artworks created by Fernando Botero between 1980 and 2018, conserved until today in the studio of the artist.

Beside the oils, watercolours and drawings reproduced in a large format, the book draws attention to the details that characterise the hand and themes of the artist’s predilection.

As way of introduction, the catalogue includes a direct exchange of views between Stéphane Custot, the gallerist, and Fernando Botero, the artist. There is no need to introduce the Colombian artist Fernando Botero, the master of figurative art has an instantly recognizable style.

His artworks are included amongst the most prestigious public collections (Museum of Modern Art, Musée de l’Ermitage, Musée d’art de Baltimore, Neue Pinakothek…) and have had a number of retrospectives dedicated to them.
