Nader Museum

Ongoing:

Botero Immersed

A visual and engaging passage into the work of acclaimed Colombian Master Fernando Botero with music composed by twenty-two times Grammy winner world producer Emilio Estefan.

The exhibition, defined by Nader as “a remarkable cultural affair and multimedia experience,” will feature Botero’s iconic body of work from the 60’s to the present day through interactive 360º digital projections, lights, music, and sounds. Guests will witness a selection of significant pieces representing his oeuvre over the last six decades, such as the circus personages, bullfighting, life in Latin America and its people, and adaptations of the work of art history masters. Botero’s narratives go beyond the represented object; a single image is full of connotations, and it may take spectators to a vast and unique universe of experiences.  

Botero Immersed is also intended to promote the Nader Museum, a not-for-profit organization with 501(c)3 tax status. The museum is dedicated to showcasing a myriad of acclaimed art that fosters knowledge through a continuous process of appreciation and reinterpretation of modern and contemporary art from Latin American and its diaspora. Through a permanent collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, installations, and other media, the museum’s audience can experience and appreciate one of the world’s most significant regions of today’s contemporary art scene.

Fernando Botero was born in Medellin, Colombia, on April 19, 1932. Botero’s signature style portrays people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world.
