A Sunday afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila
We spent a few hours at the Met Open 2014, a benefit exhibition on contemporary art. Five eminent curators selected 208 artworks focusing on abstraction, painting, seriality, pop culture, myth and symbolism.
The five pieces shown above are among the artworks for sale. Proceeds will support the museum’s education and exhibition programs. Met Open 2014 opened today and will run until Saturday, 4 October 2014.
At the second floor galleries is the survey, The Philippine Contemporary Art Exhibition: To Scale the Past and the Possible.
