This catalogue documents a small selection of works from Mr. Paulino Que&#8217;s vast collection. It was launched in conjunction with an exhibition sharing the same title on March 13th at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.finaleartfile.com\/show09_paulino.html\">Finale Art File<\/a>, a highly anticipated show among the locals as Mr. Que is one of Manila&#8217;s most renowned and well-respected collectors. Exhibition ends April 3rd. For those of you in Manila, this show is not to be missed. Seriously. This is truly a rare opportunity to view some stunning Pinoy paintings from Mr. Que&#8217;s collection as this serious collector is somewhat &#8216;shy&#8217; and does not make a habit of receiving guests regularly at home.
