Both Sotheby's and Christie's are having Latin American Art Auctions this week, featuring some of Fernando Botero's pieces.  The art is still on exhibition at Sotheby's till 1 PM...   Here is  another Botero sculpture commissioned for the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, near Falling Water and about 2 hours away from my home town:
