The ASG said he was recently given a brief to appear in the matter and would respond to the court's query in four weeks' time.

Botero, whose sculptures and paintings of playful, rotund subjects in sometimes harrowing situations made him one of the world's richest artists, has died at 91. Heralded as South America's answer to Picasso, Botero also tackled violence and political topics, including Colombia's internal conflicts, as well as portraying daily life. His works have featured in exhibitions across the world. His canvases and sculptures sell for more than $2 million each, according to Sotheby's. The artist's bodacious subjects were portrayed in everyday situations — a corpulent naked woman lounging on a bed or a stout man riding a humorously out-sized horse — but served the artist's more serious goal of transporting the reader to what he called a «superlative dimension», where commonplace situations took on exaggerated proportions.
