Landscape into Painting
With the opening of the newly renovated Ayala Museum in 2021 also came the inaugural exhibition in the new Fernando Zóbel gallery entitled Landscape into Painting: Fernando Zóbel Serie Blanca, which focuses on the peak of lyricism in Zóbel’s artistic practice. While the Serie Blanca period may not have been the ultimate destination in Zóbel’s visual odyssey, this passage was a definite milestone in Zóbel’s mastery over material, form, and composition. This catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition and co-published by Ayala Foundation, Inc. and Vibal Foundation, Inc., features a curatorial essay by Ditas R. Samson expanding the short discussion in the gallery, as well as Rafael Pérez-Madero's interview with Zóbel in the 1978 publication, Zóbel: La Serie Blanca.

Their skills as shipbuilders and businessmen, their evangelical zeal, and their ethnic cohesion and work-oriented culture made them successful as explorers, colonial administrators, missionaries, merchants, and settlers. They continued to play prominent roles in the governance and economy of the archipelago until the end of Spanish sovereignty, and their descendants still contribute in significant ways to the culture and economy of the contemporary Philippines. This book offers important new information about a little-known aspect of Philippine history and the influence of Basque immigration in the Spanish Empire, and it fills an important void in the literature of the Basque diaspora.
Transpacific Engagements
Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, competing European empires, notably Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, and others vied for commercial and political control of transoceanic networks, particularly the transpacific routes between Asia and the Americas.
