Botero's Response

 

No reconciliation

The lawsuit of economic harm that was filed in the United States against the master Fernando Botero does not seem to have slowed down.  Although the companies Art Brokers USA and Publix calculate that the decision of the artist to stop the commercialization of reproductions of his works will cost them around $200 million, Botero will not accept any type of settlement.  On the contrary, he has given instructions to his lawyers to use the full extent of the law (literally: to go until the last consequences in the judicial stand).
