Exposing Atasha and Andres to art auctions

MANILA, Philippines – Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales-Muhlach take the 15-year-young twins Atasha (who is into the arts) and Andres (who has this passion for basketball) to events of the art auction house Leon Gallery such as previews. This is to expose them to some of the best works of Filipino masters and contemporary artists like in the Kingly Treasures 2016 Auction on Dec. 3.

Taking the exceptional looks and appeal of their parents, Atasha and Andres can easily be showbiz royalties. But Aga and Charlene opt to let them grow up normally with formal education and exposure to the finer things in life. Their stylish Bali-inspired dream home in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas displays the family’s extraordinary art collection and also Aga’s aviary of rare parrots.

“Aga has been a collector since the 1990s,” proudly reveals Leon Gallery director Jaime Ponce de Leon. “And he has exquisite taste not only for contemporary art but also for furniture and antiques. This is a very rare trait for a collector.”

Other art event frequenters are Gretchen Barretto, Julius Babao and Christine Bersola-Babao, Ces Drilon, Orestes Ojeda and Dindi Gallardo. Kuh Ledesma and Heart Evangelista had put artworks on the block.

For sure, auction events are excellent opportunities for rare artwork viewing and star sighting.
