On April 21, 1760, The Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce hosted the first modern public art exhibition in London. This event marked the beginning of a series of fine art exhibitions held by the institution, which later became known as the Society of Arts.
While serving as a platform for artists to connect with an audience and sell artwork, these art exhibitions also play a crucial role in promoting intellectual discourse. They deepen our understanding of the world, allowing artists to convey a message, educate, raise awareness, or introduce new ideas, stimulating intellectual engagement.In 1948, Fernando Amorsolo's paintings were displayed at the Malacañang Palace, marking the first art exhibition of a Filipino artist after World War II.
The emergence of these galleries was not a coincidence but a response to the economic and urban changes in Manila, particularly in the district of Makati.Makati emerged as the new financial district and a model for modern urbanism, heavily influenced by artist Fernando Zóbel. Makati's influence on the art scene was profound, inspiring artists and shaping the direction of modern art.
