Fernando Botero 1932 – 2023

Christie’s joins the world in commemorating the loss of the renowned Colombian artist, Fernando Botero. Known for his groundbreaking contribution to Latin figurative art and sculpture, Botero’s creative influence and distinct style continues to inspire and triumph in the contemporary art community. In memory of the artist, who has passed at 91, we look back on his contribution to the global art market and the times we were honored to represent his phenomenal work.

Georges Seurat was just 26 years old when "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884" made its first public appearance. "Bedlam," "scandal," and "hilarity" were among the epithets used to describe what is now considered his greatest work—first shown in Paris at the eighth Impressionist exhibition.

Seurat labored intensively for two years on the painting—a monumental composition over ten feet in length, painstakingly rendered in the pointillist style. Inspired by research in optical and color theory, he juxtaposed tiny dabs of colors that, through optical blending, form a single and, he believed, more brilliantly luminous hue.

This enormous work was only rarely seen in the three decades following Seurat's death in 1891 at the age of 31. Its visibility dramatically increased when the painting entered the Art Institute’s permanent collection in 1926.

See "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884" on view in Gallery 240.

We remember well

Thursday from the Collections Manager's Corner...
Do you remember when the La Jolla Historical Society's Wisteria Cottage was a bookstore? From 1961-66 it was the Nexus Bookstore and from 1966 to 2005, the John Cole’s Book Shop. As John Cole’s it became a landmark noted for book signings and visits by famous personalities, including actor Charles Laughton (who loved to sit in the attic and read) and Dr. Seuss (the La Jolla children’s’ book author who lived just up the hill). It was during this time that the cottage was designated Historic Site No. 166 by the City of San Diego. With owner Barbara Cole’s death in 2005, Wisteria Cottage began a whole new era of history – devoted to history. This 1904 cottage, gifted to the Society in 2008 by Ellen Revelle, has been restored and rehabilitated with expanded, museum-standard gallery space for changing exhibitions and educational programs. Just a little note...we have in our Collection the very sign pictured in this photograph! We hope you come and visit us often! Enjoy!
