\u201cFernando Botero is one of the world\u2019s most iconic and recognized Masters. He has certainly earned his place in history,\u201d said Gary Nader, Founder of Nader Art Museum<\/strong>. \u201cBeing around his artwork is pleasing to the eye and brings a smile to the face of all of those who see it. This exhibition on Lincoln Road will allow visitors and locals to get a closer look at Botero\u2019s most celebrated monumental masterpieces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cTourists and locals are increasingly looking for one-of-a-kind experiences that bring people together and showcase the unique aspects of a community, and Lincoln Road is the perfect venue for doing just that,\u201d said Timothy Schmand, executive director of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (BID). Working in partnership with the Nader Art Museum<\/strong> to bring Botero\u2019s esteemed outdoor exhibition to Miami Beach\u2019s Lincoln Road is yet another way we are committed to continuously elevating our cultural programming and ensuring Lincoln Road remains a place where people can experience arts, culture, events, and entertainment, all free of cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Estimated 6 million visitors accessing the promenade through the Alton Road entrance will be welcomed by one of Botero\u2019s most illustrious sculptures \u201cMale Torso.\u201d Stroll further, and visitors will come across \u201cRape of Europa,\u201d \u201cLeda and the Swan,\u201d and \u201cBird,\u201d among others.

Botero, with his immense sculptures, manipulates forms, proportions, volumes, and sizes to create smooth, round, and plump humans and animals that transform their surroundings and generate an immediate response from the viewer. He once said of his sculptures, \u201cI never give particular traits to my figures. I don\u2019t want them to have personality, but rather represent a type that I create. My sculptures do not carry any messages, social or otherwise. What matters for me is the form, the voluptuous surfaces, which emphasize the sensuality of my work. I like the enormous size; it is the fulfillment of my longing for voluptuous round forms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Fernando Botero<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fernando Botero was born in Medellin, Colombia in 1932. He moved to Bogota in 1951 and held his first one-man exhibition. The following year, he won second place in the National Salon in Bogot\u00e1. With the money he earned from the award, he traveled to Madrid and Rome to study the works of old-world masters. In 1960, Botero moved to New York where he later won the Guggenheim National Prize for Colombia. Over the next few years, Botero began to develop his trademark style. The small-town life he experienced as a child and the Colombian people of his youth would become his richest source of inspiration. In 1973, Botero moved to Paris and began making sculptures. Botero has achieved international recognition for his painting, drawings, sculptures, and exhibitions around the world. His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Lincoln Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affectionately referred to by some as Miami\u2019s living room, there is nothing as quintessentially Miami Beach as Lincoln Road. It\u2019s the street where models walk their dogs after runway shows, where stylish boulevardiers stroll past window shoppers, and where caf\u00e9 culture overrules standard business meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Lincoln Road has reached critical mass, and with due reason. The pedestrian promenade is home to the best of everything. Best places to shop? Try hyper-trendy boutiques like Alchemist and Intermix or national cult favorites like Lululemon. Even popular nationwide stores are more interesting here – Banana Republic is in a former bank building, Guess is inside a former Cadillac dealership (complete with its original exterior signage), and All Saints Spitalfields is housed in a synagogue-turned-Jehovah\u2019s Witness temple. Looking for the best place to eat, but overwhelmed by Yelp reviews? Head over to Lincoln Road\u2019s new Time Out Market and try a bit of everything \u2013 the food hall features 17 local chefs and boasts, not one, but three bars. Music and entertainment lovers will find refuge in the Lincoln Road District \u2013 home to the Fillmore, New World Symphony, Colony Theater, and Regal South Beach movie theater. Steps away is the newly remodeled Miami Beach Convention Center, which welcomes world-renowned Art Basel every December. Even the parking garages on Lincoln Road are a cut above the rest. Considered \u201ccarchitecture,\u201d the Herzog & de Meuron-designed 1111 Lincoln Road building is a modern masterpiece and magnet for photographers, social media influencers, locals, and tourists alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
