Modern Art Animal Bronze - El Gato, signed F. Botero

The Modern Art Animal Bronze “El Gato” (The Cat) is one of the well known large sculptures made by the Columbian sculptor and painter Fernando Botero (* April 19, 1932 in Medellin) and is nowadays exhibited at the “Rambla del Raval” in Barcelona, Spain. This exhibit here was made as a re-cast of  the great original. It was made of 100% finest bronze and is signed with the signature “Botero”. The pedestal is a flat base made of finest marble. The Modern Art Animal Figure “El Gato” was designed with the typical characteristic design of the artist Botero, including voluminous shapes and abstract forms. The sculpture looks like a caricature of a cat, created without any useless and unnecessary details.  

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
