His success on this occasion was modest. Not quite a year later the photographer held another exhibition of the same artists's work. Neither the amateur art dealer, nor the artist, nor the buyers, could have any idea that the 19-year old Fernando Botero from Medellin would one day by Latin America's most famous artist."
