On February 24, Fundacion Sansó will be launching the exhibit “Sansó: Prized and Personal.” This major exhibit, the first of a series of “Prized and Personal” shows, opens the year for Fundacion Sansó, this time focusing solely on the private collections of Presidential Medal of Merit Awardee Juvenal Sansó’s works from the private collections.
The series of exhibits will run on different dates throughout 2022 and will culminate in the publication of a book of the same title in 2023, published by Fundacion Sansó. Different from the other institutional titles of the museum, the hardbound coffee table book will focus on the subjective and personal voices of the collectors, instead of the authoritative voice in art publications.
The private collection featured in this very first “Sansó: Prized and Personal” exhibit is that of Fundacion Sansó chairman Jack Teotico, who founded Fundacion Sansó in 2014 with friends to establish his artistic legacy and support his advocacies.
Composed of 36 works, mostly on paper, in different mediums spanning the various eras of Maestro Sansó’s art career, from the Black Period, Floating Bouquet, and dry brush barong-barong creations, to the highly popular Brittany and En Vase series, this first “Prized and Personal” show is a celebration not just of Sansó’s art, but also of Teotico’s and Sansó’s long-running friendship, which dates to the 1980s.
Watch the “Sansó: Prized and Personal” online launch on February 24, at 2:00pm via FB Live on the Fundacion Sansó Facebook page. The physical launch will be on March 12 at 3:00pm at Fundacion Sansó, 32 V. Cruz, San Juan City. “Sansó: Prized and Personal” can be viewed online, and the physical exhibit at Fundacion Sansó will run until April 30.
