Conceptualized and formed by the Amorsolo children, the Fernando C. Amorsolo Art Foundation was incorporated on February 3, 2003. Dedicated to the preservation of the artist's legacy, the Foundation counts among its goals the promotion of the Maestro's unique style and the propagation of his artistic vision. Alarmed by the prevalence of numerous forgeries of the artist's works, the children initially sought to form a body that would uphold the integrity of the Amorsolo name by primarily cataloguing ad authenticating the artist's works. Subsequently fueled by a strong desire to honor their father's memory, the Foundation's goals have evolved into more extended objectives. These include endeavors that strive not only to preserve and document the first Filipino National Artist's heritage but also to propagate his vision to uphold and immortalize Filipino culture through visual arts. Consistent with the group's goals, the Foundation promotes humanitarian causes as well.
