An exquisite lithograph created in 1983 by Pierre Restany( French - 1930 - 2003) after the iconic work of Fernando Botero ( Columbian, 1932- 2023) entitled "The Walk." A limited edition of 200, this piece is a testament to the collaboration between two artistic luminaries. The lithograph is part of a comprehensive book curated by Pierre Restany, a visionary in the art world, featuring 60 reproductions in stunning colors. The entire collection was published by the esteemed Harry N. Abrams, Inc., based in New York.
The lithograph, true to Botero's signature style known as Boterismo, captures the essence of charm and whimsy. The focal point is an oversized woman, gracefully portrayed, holding a small umbrella while standing beside a tranquil lake under the shelter of towering, oversized trees. This captivating scene brings to life the unique and delightful world that Botero's art often explores—the juxtaposition of exaggerated proportions and everyday scenes.
In the bottom right corner, Botero's distinctive signature, elegantly rendered as "Botero," adds an authentic touch to the lithograph. Accompanying this extraordinary lithograph is a certificate of authentication, providing assurance of its legitimacy and origin.
The art work has been recently professionally matted and framed in white with glass on top to protect the beautiful art.
