NEW YORK - On Thursday, NYC's Marlborough Gallery opened the first showing of a new body of work by the world renowned Colombian artist, Fernando Botero. The exhibition, entitled
Via Crucis, is based on scenes from the passion of Christ. Botero's most recent American showing was this past Spring at the
Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, but this is Botero’s first NYC exhibition since 2006. The showing of
Via Crucis (Latin for The Way of the Cross) consists of twenty-seven oils on canvas of various sizes and approximately thirty-four drawings in mixed media on paper. The Malborough Gallery is located at 40 West 57th street and the
Via Crucis show runs through December 3, 2011.
