The curtain rises. ‘Finer Pursuits: Important Philippine Art and Rare Collectibles’ unveils a celebration of beauty, memory, nationhood, and the enduring power of culture — gathering works and objects that speak to the Filipino spirit across generations on this month of Independence. View the catalogue link in bio. From Fernando Zóbel’s luminous abstraction and radiant visions of the Philippine countryside by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo, to modern and contemporary masterworks by National Artists H.R. Ocampo, Vicente Manansala, and Ang Kiukok, together with Ronald Ventura, Elmer Borlongan, Oscar Zalameda, and more, the sale brings together exceptional works of artistic and historical significance. Among its rare historical treasures is an extraordinary Philippine photo album of late 19th-century images, including views of Manila, revolutionary figures, and photographs of profound national importance, including what is reputedly the largest original albumen print capturing the martyrdom of the National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal. The auction also presents exceptional devotional and ecclesiastical art, antique silver, and rare collectibles that illuminate faith, craftsmanship, and cultural memory. At the heart of the sale is a deeply meaningful gesture: the offering of two important H.R. Ocampo works from the collection of National Artist for Dance Leonor Orosa Goquingco to help underwrite the 2027 restaging of Filipinescas by Ballet Philippines — a revival of one of the defining masterpieces of Philippine theater dance. As the stage curtain parts, we are reminded that art does more than endure history. It keeps memory alive, gives form to truth, and allows beauty to move once more through the world. Experience the collection firsthand at the public preview beginning Friday, 29 May, before the Live & Online Afternoon Sale on Saturday, 6 June 2026 at 2PM. An online-only Morning Sale starts at 10AM.
