MANILA, Philippines - As part of National Heritage Month, Juvenal Sansó, one of the country’s most renowned visual artists belonging to the Modernist School of Philippine art, holds his biannual authentication session on June 5, from 3 to 6 pm at Galerie Stephanie, at Unit 1B, Parc Plaza Bldg, 183 E. Rodriguez Jr. Ave., Libis, Quezon City.
This is Sanso’s way of meeting his collectors and assuring them directly of the authenticity of the artworks in their possession. It is also the artist’s way of showing his thanks to people who have expressed appreciation for his art and a way to help in the campaign against fakes and forgeries.
During Sanso’s authentication sessions, the artist not only attests to the authenticity of the artwork but can give some information on the style, background and influences of his various artworks to the collector.
Sansó is a Presidential Medal of Merit Awardee. He also has medals of honor or knighthoods from Spain with the King’s Cross of Isabella and a chevalier rank from the French government for his outstanding accomplishments in art.
