Botero was a Colombian artist best known for his sculptures of big, beautiful voluptuous women emphasizing their bold, rounded forms and expressive silhouettes. His La Gorda sculpture was created in 1986 and is located in an outdoor plaza in Medellin, Colombia. This makes a unique desk piece for fans of Botero, modern sculpture and Colombian art.
