The Salón de Arte Moderno (SAM), held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain, runs until March 8 and draws international collectors. One standout work is ‘Courbet en el campo’, an oil on canvas measuring 150x95 cm, created by Fernando Botero in 1994. The artist, born in 1932 and died in 2023, is known for his distinctive style.
