An Artist’s Proof bronze, “The Hand” with black patina. Attributed to Fernando Botero. Signed and numbered: “E/A Botero 6/12″ with the foundry mark just above his signature: “Fondoria M Italy”. Purchased from a dealer in Columbia and brought to Canada in 2002. The piece speaks of Botero’s creativity that shows the strength and power of the human being. A fine example of his work that shows subtly and grace created from the lost wax technique in bronze from a foundry. Remarkable work in excellent condition. No COA or paperwork.

Dancers by Fernando Botero. Solid bronze on heavy marble base. Signed and numbered: “Botero E/A Botero 1/12″. Has foundry mark “Fondria Italy” with a capital “M” in the middle. Dark, charcoal black, shiny patina. Quite a lot of detail, nicely cast.  They are large and I think they are just about to start dancing.  They are looking lovingly into each other’s eyes. Botero has added a big scoop of emotion.  Excellent condition.
