The sale will also feature a wonderful selection of works by the distinguished Colombian artist Fernando Botero. This important selection of Latin American works, ranging from colonial to contemporary, demonstrate the dynamic and varied nature of the international market for works from this region and will be on view in Sotheby’s 10th floor galleries prior to the sale from May 24 to 29.
