Fernando Botero net worth at the time of death

Fernando Botero Angulo was a Medellín-born Colombian figurative artist and sculptor who lived from 19 April 1932 to 15 September 2023. His distinctive style, sometimes known as “Boterismo,” features exaggerated, large-scale depictions of people and objects that, depending on the painting, can either be taken as political satire or as fun.

In his lifetime, he was regarded as the Latin American artist who was most well-known and most referenced. Throughout the world, prominent locations like Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris are home to his artwork at various points in time.

Fernando Botero’s net worth at the time of death

The artist’s estimated net worth exceeded $100 million according to several unnamed sources.

The first time Botero’s art was seen publicly was in a collective exhibition with other local painters in 1948. Before relocating to Bogotá in 1951, Botero worked as a set designer from 1949 to 1950.

Before enrolling in San Fernando Academy, the young Botero supported his artistic talents by working as a newspaper illustrator.

A still-life painting of apples from Botero’s early career, which was influenced by 20th-century painters and European art historical movements, was bought by the Pérez Art Museum Miami. A few months after arriving, his first one-man show was presented at the Galera Leo Matiz in Bogotá.
