Ойын-сауық
Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero, renowned for his fuller-than-full-figured subjects, died on September 15, 2023, at age 91. In this "CBS Sunday Morning" feature that aired on October 10, 1993, correspondent Anthony Mason reports on the installation of 14 monumental bronze sculptures by Botero on New York's Park Avenue, and the quizzical responses of normally jaded New Yorkers.

Boteros sculptures looked marvelous on Park Avenue. The right dinension for the big apple. The only sculpture left is the cat. Art in its right place enlightens the people.
I will always love his work, and he was so special in his style of work. He will be missed by me and so many that enjoyed his work. He was certainly right up there with the greats of art. RIP Mr. Botero.
Beauty is in the heart and eyes of the beholder. I think they are beautiful
This exhibit was in Chicago years back. The sculptures are amazing!

They were? I missed that.😢
Wonderful!
I very much wish I’d been there!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤. Extraordinary. Thank you. Master
NYC 30 years ago looked so different.. RIP Fernando Botero Angulo.
The surface of the bronze sculptures looks almost like stone, with its variegated coloration. Very attractive detail. Being made of bronze, we can assume they are hollow. Solid marble would have been impossibly heavy and easily chipped in transit.
How envious I am, I wish they could have graced my city of Detroit.
They are beautiful!!!
RIP Fernando Botero Angulo
So sad he is no longer with us RIP

Good no more hideous art
Everyone goes on about being large and overweight. Guess they forgot Gaston Lachaise. Very nice❤
3:04 even back then there was always "I'm not ______ but..."/"I'm all for _____ but..."

Bird and the chicken man! Excellent film shot
Very olmec
It would be difficult to have a statue loose weight.
Those opening sounds sound just the the opening to Bum Rap, a short noir fantasy on youtube. Just as long as Botero doesn't do a nude Don...
Do like the hostess’s suit. I think these show actual Spartans and realistic
Whoa, they are so big and Black.
Fat bronze
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎😎😎😎
No like it!!!
Botero may be predicting and expressing the American obesity epidemic.
Babylon is putting up false God's now. It's the end for real
They are all ridiculous and shouldn’t be on the road in the first place. Amazing people can just dump their so called art anywhere they want.
