RIDING on the nation's buoyant mood, Salcedo Auctions presents a gold-standard line-up for its "The Well-Appointed Life" live and online sale, which started at 2 p.m. on September 14 with the launch of its catalog at salcedoauctions.com. From important Philippine art and antiques to ecclesiastical and ethnographic artifacts, all the pieces listed in the dazzling catalog "embody the theme, 'The Life That Shines Within,'" Salcedo Auctions Chairman Richie Lerma said. "This collection is a tribute to the inner brilliance that drives us to excel, much like the remarkable spirit displayed by our athletes in the recent Olympic victories. Their achievements have brought immense pride to our nation, reflecting the same light that art brings into our lives — a light that inspires, uplifts, and unites us," Lerma said. Each highlighted piece instills awe or wondrous curiosity being significant entries in the featured artists' body of work. Like the three paintings by National Artist BenCab — an impressive "Sabel" from 2008; an earlier more figurative expressionist representation of his most iconic leitmotif dated 2000; and an intriguing work from 1970 titled "The Door" from the Glenda Jackson collection, London. Two paintings by National Artist Ang Kiukok exemplify a stylistic disparity and a shift in the artist's moods: "Yellow Fish Skeleton" from 1979 and "Horse" from 1988. Two paintings by Fernando Amorsolo and Mauro Malang Santos express traditional motifs with different outcomes. There are also important works by other National Artists, including that of Arturo Luz and Cesar Legaspi. Visit https://salcedoauctions.com/ for more information. Read The Rest at :
