Valentine Willie and Yael Buencamino in front of Julian Schnabel's untitled painting
Perhaps the pieces on view, both the paintings on polyester and the limited edition prints, will never be accounted as his best and most important work. Perhaps you just don’t go for his art, and think him a better film maker than he is a painter. But we don’t get to see recent works by living legends on our side of the ocean everyday. Actually, before Valentine Willie brought in the much-ballyhooed Julian Schnabel shows currently ongoing at the Manila Contemporary gallery and the National Museum, we
Julian Schnabel, "Untitled (Chinese)", and the National Museum's John Silva
never had any important figure of contemporary art exhibit in Manila at all. Personally, I enjoyed both shows, and I would deem a trek to downtown Manila and to Valentine’s gallery a must. Yes really! Even just to see what the fuss is about.

too bad the MC show only has 90’s works, it would have been great to see what he is up to these days aside from being a director. more than the works themselves, i think the show is great because it shows us the exciting possibilities of mixing together techniques + materials to see what happens, its like being in art school all over again. again thanks for keeping us updated
Lovely, I am a Julian Schnabel fan ever since. Just so lucky I will be able to catch him in manila…
Great stuff…thanks for the update!
Cheers
Sorry, this may sound like a stupid question. But I am new to these things.
and I was wondering if you have to pay to see the exhibit? I am a very poor student. hehehe
To see Schnabel’s prints at Manila Contemporary Gallery, you do not have to pay. To visit the National Museum, I think there is a very small fee for students with valid IDs.
Fantastic,wanne know more in the future!
