Botero, the most important living artist in the world today. No doubt!

Mrfreakmeade....No te creas lo que te dicen, no tiene nada que ver que Pablo Escobar tenga obras de Botero, muchos cantantes famosos fueron a Napoles a cantarle en privado a Escobar. y Algunos ni si quiera son Colombianos y sin embargo no se entiende que tengan relacion alguna con el Narcotrafico..Tal vez quienes te dicen esto lo mencionan por que son de Medellin tanto el Narco como Botero..
