Fernando Zobel (1924–1984) was more than an artist—he was a visionary who bridged continents, cultures and artistic movements. Born in the Philippines to Spanish parents, Zobel played a transformative role in shaping modern art in both countries, forging connections between Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies Fernando Zobel: Order is Essential, an exhibition that traces the evolution of his practice from expressive gesture to refined abstraction.
