Headlining the auction will be a choice collection of six Angel Botello (Spanish and American, 1913-1986) paintings and bronzes. Called the “Caribbean Gauguin,” Botello painted many scenes of island life during his three decades on Puerto Rico, where he moved after civil war broke out in his native Spain.

Other Botello paintings competing for buyers’ interest will be a signed floral still life oil on board in shades of blue, estimated at $15,000-$25,000; and a signed oil on board of a bull with an estimate of $8,000-$12,000.
Botello was equally renowned for his bronze sculptures. On offer in the May 15 auction will be his signed limited edition bronze of a mother and child, estimated at $12,000-$18,000; and a limited edition bronze bust of a child with an estimate of $6,000-$9,000.
