SINGAPORE, 9 May 2025 – On 8 May 2025, Philippine Ambassador to Singapore Medardo G. Macaraig attended the opening ceremony of the special exhibit, “Fernando Zóbel: Order is Essential” at the National Gallery in Singapore.

The exhibit, which will run from 9 May to 30 November 2025, features over 200 pieces of art works, including paintings, sketches, prints, photographs, and archival materials, of the life, work, life and legacy of Filipino-Spanish transcontinental modernist artist Fernando Zóbel (1924–1984). 

This landmark exhibition at the National Gallery follows acclaimed runs at Madrid’s Museo del Prado in 2022 and Manila’s Ayala Museum in 2024.
