In recent years, the Miami area’s main botanical garden has become almost as well known for its art as its rare plants and orchids. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s latest sculpture exhibit continues that blend of natural and manmade beauty.
Colombian artist Fernando Botero’s immense black statues of portly people stand out in his first exposition in a botanical garden and each detail was meticulously planned so that complete harmony exists between his work and the setting, organizers said.
In general, since the display opened Feb. 15, the public has come “because the art gets your attention and then they learn about the plants”, said Nannete Zapata, the garden’s operations director and one of the Botero organizers.”*
