Works That Wow: Your First Look at Art Fair Philippines 2019

Occupying four levels of The Link carpark, Art Fair Philippines may get overwhelming, to say the least. During the VVIP preview, the T&C team was able to comb through the 55 galleries ahead of time and although it was a Hurculean task, we narrowed down some of the fair's highlights so you could go straight to the good stuff.
