Design News: Q&A
Q&A with Donald Christiansen of Chelsea Art Group
In 1996, Donald Christiansen founded the Chelsea Art Group. Today, the art consultancy firm services some of the biggest names and museums out there—we just can't always tell you who/which they are!
by New York Spaces
Jean-Michel Basquiat.
A few weeks ago, we accompanied Donald Christiansen, the founder of Chelsea Art Group, on a tour of The Armory Show. What resulted, was an eye-opening experience that brought forth this Q&A so that our readers could get to know more of what Christiansen specializes in. With over 20-years experience in art consultancy to the trade as well as consumers, investors, and collectors alike, Chelsea Art Group is in a category of its own.
Donald Christiansen, Founder of Chelsea Art Group.
NYS: Why did you decide to found Chelsea Art Group? What there a niche you felt was missing? How did you fill it if so?
Donald Christiansen: Twenty-two years ago I had sold a business I started when I was 13 years old. It was in the luxury service and automobile industry. I had some time on my hands and a former client suggested I join the Young Collectors council at the Guggenheim Museum. I instantly became intrigued by viewing art and the history of art. What was born from an interest, became a passion. I started collecting, reading, and learning as I went.
Chelsea Art Group was born out of that interest, a desire to expose people to what is a fascinating world of beauty (or not), history, and the value of buying artwork and living with it. I saw many friends using art to decorate their home and then losing nearly all of what they spent when their tastes changed, moved, or had an event which altered their life. I knew there was a better way.
To accomplish this idea, I also needed to fill in the areas where I did not have the knowledge. In the beginning, I
Andy Warhol.
brought on Sylvia Roth, a well known artist and printmaker, to explain the techniques used to make art. She is also a huge help when it comes to art history, and actually worked with some of the most important modern and contemporary masters. I recently partnered with Igor Orlovsky in Los Angeles, which is home to a rapidly growing market, and have hired a client relationship manager to serve all of the individual needs of our clients.
NYS: What is Chelsea Art Group's mission? What do you do for your clients and what kind of clients do you have?
Our mission is finding great art and matching it to the interests and personalities of our clients.
There are two basic categories: The client who would like to fill their home with some major art and live with it every day. I am happy when our clients learn that art, by the very artists who have or have had work in major museums like the Guggenheim, Whitney, and MoMA, can be enjoyed in their homes.
The other type of client is the serious collector and investor. They buy not only because they want to enjoy the work but to also diversify their portfolios.
NYS: Does your expertise lie in a certain area?
Robert Rauschenberg.
Donald Christiansen: I advise and sell mostly modern (1900-1950ish) and contemporary masters (starting with the abstract expressionists in the late 1940's and running through through todays artists). I also deal with career and mid-career artists. Recently I have begun to look at some of the younger, more interesting emerging artists.
NYS: You obviously love art and are incredibly knowledgeable. How do you balance the idea of supporting incredible talent and making sure your client buys something they can sell again—and sometimes most importantly—at a profit?
Donald Christiansen: We try very hard to define the mission whether it is over a single item or all of the art in a person's home or collection. We recognize our clients have their own aesthetic which attracts them. There are so many talented artists, and unfortunately, only a small group are elevated to a level to be considered investable. While I often talk about value and profit potential I also have to recognize the individuals choices. I am very upfront about the art/artist people acquire and suggest people set a limit on what they spend on a work they will enjoy, but which is not in a category which may increase its value over time.
One of my first inspirations was at an auction of collectors named Gant. They would only ever buy an artist's work if the artist was—in other words, who had had shows at major galleries and institutions. They never acquired an artist's work while he was on his way up.
This resulted in paying a bit more for the artwork, but it also demonstrated an artist's relevance in history and view towards their longevity in value.
Julian Opie's " Walking in London" Complete Suite of Five Prints.
I will use the analogy of a shopping cart. You buy items and put them in the cart and hopefully the value in the basket as a whole will be more than you paid for the items. With art, you also have the benefit of enjoying the work over the time you own it.
NYS: Do you ever work with clients and museum professionals to bring works of art into public collections? What is one of your more notable accomplishments.
Donald Christiansen: Discretion is important in this category and I need to be careful with this information but I have placed several works among museums and in public spaces, such as sculpture parks and in schools. I can't say much more than that.
NYS: What artist or artwork would you love to have in your possession right now?
Donald Christiansen: I am always interested in work by Robert Rauschenberg. He is arguably one of the top five artists in the last 50 years or so, and I am intrigued by the diversity of materials he used over his career. He has a huge exhibition at the Tate Museum in London which is coming to New York soon.I also see him as undervalued in the market.
At this years Armory Show I acquired sculptures by Julian Opie, a Thomas Ruff photograph and an Ivan Navarro light box work. This is the second Navarro I have acquired in the course of a year.
NYS: Chelsea Art Group seems like a fantastic resource for interior designers. What would you like them to understand about how each of your fields can work in tandem?
Chelsea Art Group.
Donald Christiansen: I always welcome teaming with Interior designers on projects. I can help them find artwork by an artist they do not know about or a work which is off the radar and is being sold privately. It's fun to brainstorm with creative people about how to do something different in a home or office. I am working with my LA partner and the design team for a Yacht currently being built in Rotterdam.
NYS: Do you have a variety of repeat clients? If so, what is that experience like for you?
Donald Christiansen: Yes I am very honored to have clients that have been with me for twenty years or so. Some deal exclusively with me. For many, I have built their entire collections, buying and selling off pieces during the process. Along with my CAG team, we build experiences in the art world for clients beyond just selling them art. Museum shows, Art fairs, and gallery openings are happenings we try to schedule events around throughout the year.
NYS: Do you ever collect and buy your own artwork to store for a potential client or to hold on for market value? If so, can you share with us which pieces you might have now?
Donald Christiansen: Sure, and often times I partner with clients on items. I currently have some works by Sigmar Polke, Frank Stella, and Ed Ruscha that I am holding.
NYS: What are some of your most notable sales?
Donald Christiansen: Again I need to use maximum discretion here. Two years ago I was involved selling a
Claude Monet.
painting by Mark Rothko to one of the world's top collectors. Honestly, I was very excited!! More recently, I represented an incredible Cy Twombly painting for a seller and partnered with another dealer who had the buyer. I do not even know who the buyer was, but it was an eight figure deal. Today, I signed a contract to represent a very rare, and new to market Joan Mitchell.
NYS: What would you say are the 10 most important art fairs to your line of work?
Donald Christiansen: It seems there is a fair somewhere in the world every week. I do a crazy amount of traveling
Certainly the Art Basel fairs which occur in Switzerland, Hong Kong and Miami Florida each year. The Miami fair(s) is especially fun and we have developed a program to guide our clients around that week.
Jeremy Thomas.
The Frieze fairs are in New York in the spring and London in the fall.
Documenta occurs in Germany and this year also in Athens Greece
The Armory Show and the ADAA just occurred in NYC
FIAC in Paris
ARCO in Madrid
TEFAF in Maastricht, Netherlands iss recognized as one of the most prestigious and oldest Art and Antique fairs. they have recently expanded and will also be showing in NYC using Frieze week.
I went to ZONA MACO in Mexico City last month for the first time. It was great to be exposed to galleries from South America.
NYS: We love the idea of living with art. Do you have pieces in your home you would never let go of? If so, which and why?
Donald Christiansen: Lol, I always say I will not sell off a certain artwork, and then someone comes over and sees it and I let it go. I have both a Rauschenberg and Oldenberg print, which I bought when I first started. Sentimental I guess.
I am very excited about the Navarro work I just acquired. I don't think I will sell it. Time will tell
NYS: Who are some of your favorite artists?
Donald Christiansen: I love the work of Rene Magritte a modern surrealist master. On the contemporary side I already mentioned Rauschenberg and Oldenberg.
NYS: Do you ever work on installations? If so, what is your role in creating special projects and/or facilitating them?
Donald Christiansen: Not generally that is usually a huge undertaking and I leave that up to curators and installers. I can barely hang a painting level.
NYS: What are you currently working on right now?
Donald Christiansen: Along with the usual individual sales, I am working on building a valuable collection for a company's new offices in Madrid. Spain. I will be starting work on a large offices for a New York Law Firm.

City of Trenton Makes Parking Even Easier with Flowbird Mobile Parking App
Touchless Parking Solution Comes to New Jersey's Capital City
Moorestown, NJ — Flowbird Group, a global leader in curbside management and urban mobility solutions, announced that it has launched the Flowbird app in New Jersey's State Capital, Trenton, together with Flowbird's local distribution partner, DEVO & Associates. The smart mobile parking solution brings ultimate convenience to motorists, allowing users to find and pay for parking with their iPhone or Android devices.
The Flowbird App officially launched in Trenton at the end of February, and covers approximately 800 parking spaces, including all on-street parking locations and city-owned parking lots. Setting up an account is quick and simple after the app is downloaded to a mobile device from the App Store or Google Play Store. Accounts can be set up for individual motorists or for businesses to manage their fleets.
Designed as a mobility app, the Flowbird app features a map-based user interface, integrated with Waze and other navigation systems to guide users to their preferred parking location. The GPS enabled map also allows users to select their parking location without manually inputting a zone code.
Users can choose to receive a reminder notification when their time is about to expire and then extend their time right from their mobile device. The app even provides walking directions back to the user's original parking location.
The City will also benefit from Flowbird's elite back-office management suite. The system integrates reporting of all meter and mobile transactions, making it easier than ever to manage the parking system minute-by-minute, while making educated decisions for the future.
Enforcement officers have web-based access to Flowbird's SmartCenter enforcement module, allowing officers to check the status of all plate numbers. If a citation needs to be issued, the officers utilize their current citation issuance solution installed on their handheld devices.
The City of Trenton joins several other towns in New Jersey using the Flowbird App, including Dover, Linden, Loch Arbour, New Providence and Rahway. The Flowbird app is now available in over 100 parking locations across the United States, and generated over 26 million transactions globally in 2020.

AFTER more than 114,000 enraged fans petitioned on Change.org to have Insatiable cancelled, claiming the show promotes fat-shaming, a Netflix executive is standing by the series.
Vice president of original series Cindy Holland rebutted the claims from fans and defended the streaming giant's series against petitioners during the 2018 Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour at The Beverly Hilton.
"Lauren Goose, who is the creator, felt very strongly about exploring these issues based on her own experiences, but in a satirical, over-the-top way," she told reporters.
Actor and singer Debby Ryan, who plays the role of Patty, also defended the program last week in a note posted on Twitter, saying she "cares deeply" about women's bodies and how they are "shamed and policed in society".
"Over the last few days I've seen how many voices are protective and fiercely outspoken about the themes that come to play in this story," she said.
"I was drawn to this show's willingness to go to real places about how difficult and scary it can be to move through a world in a body, whether you're being praised or criticised for its size, and what it feels like to pray to be ignored because it's easier than being seen.
The series focuses on Patty, who goes through a dramatic weight transformation and then makes it her mission to get revenge against her bullies.
Ryan wears a fat suit at the start of the series before going through her weight loss. The character is punched in the face and taunted by her classmates because of her appearance.
Petition organisers said the show was toxic by promoting the bad diet culture and objectifying women's bodies.
This article was originally published on Fox News. Katherine Lam contributed to this report.


Valind uses a series of Rogue Flash Bender 2 light shaping tools as his main lights here. The key light is a speedlight inside a Rogue Flash Bender XL Pro with a diffuser on. The setup immediately transforms this into a large softbox.
This light is placed exactly above the head of the subject giving some nice highlights on the model's forehead and making her bangs pop-out. The eyes are beautifully lit and you can see some nice catchlights as well (image below). Also notice the nice shadows underneath the cheeks and the chin that accentuate the model's face.
The white background in high-key portraits are rarely pure white all by themselves. They have to be lit in order to get that effect. In this case Valind uses a Flash Rogue Bender 2 with a black panel on. The flash is turned towards the wall.
The black panel blocks light from getting spilled on to the subject's back or the rest of the frame. All of the light will be aimed toward the wall behind, illuminating it to make it appear pure white.
The final element that completes this jigsaw of lighting arrangement is the fill light. The fill light helps in removing those last remnants of shadows. Remember, the key light did create some shadows. Although those are nice, some of the shadows have to be removed to complete the high-key effect. Thus the fill light, which in this case is a silver reflector, is brought in.
It removes some of the shadows and adds a bit of catchlight to the eyes to complete the high-key look. If you have an extra light you can use that instead of the reflector. Valind demonstrates how a speedlight, with a Rogue Flash Bender, without the diffuser, when scooped upwards can do the job.
Try this technique and let us know how it goes in the comments below.

Q: SQL Select Distinct based on Conditional Assumptions:
ITEM STATUS in STAGINGLINE:  0 - NOT STARTED, 1 - VERIFIED, 2 - MISCOUNT
Want only one line to show per ASN so easiest way is using DISTINCT....
SELECT DISTINCT ASN, STATUS
FROM STAGINGLINE

However, I can't use a simple distinct because of the multiple STATUS possibilities, you would get multiples for each status.
Result set should show only 2 "ASNs": 123 and 343
Example STAGINGLINE Table
Case 1:
(ASN #, ITEM #, STATUS, QTY ,ACTUAL)
123   898      0       4      NULL
123   344      0       9      NULL
123   123      0       2      NULL
123   534      0       1      NULL
343   111      1       6      6

ResultSet needs to be:
123  NOT STARTED (because all 0)
343  VERIFIED

Case 2:
(ASN #, ITEM #, STATUS, QTY ,ACTUAL)
123   898      1       4      4
123   344      0       9      NULL
123   123      0       2      NULL
123   534      0       1      NULL

ResultSet needs to be:
123  IN PROGRESS (because at least one of them is not in a 0 STATUS)
343  VERIFIED

Case 3:
(ASN #, ITEM #, STATUS, QTY ,ACTUAL)
123   898      1       4      4
123   344      2       9      5  <- MISCOUNT
123   123      0       2      NULL
123   534      0       1      NULL

ResultSet needs to be:
123  MISCOUNT (because of the existence of a 2 in at least one of the STATUS column)
343  VERIFIED

Case 4:
(ASN #, ITEM #, STATUS, QTY ,ACTUAL)
123   898      1       4      4
123   344      1       9      9
123   123      1       2      2
123   534      1       1      1

ResultSet needs to be:
123  VERIFIED (because all are STATUS of 1)
343  VERIFIED

A: Are you looking for max():
select asn, max(status)
from t
group by asn;

Or perhaps max() with case:
select (case max(status) when 0 then 'NOT STARTED'
                         when 1 then 'VERIFIED'
                         when 2 then 'MISCOUNT'
        end)
from t
group by asn;

EDIT:
The rules seem a bit more detailed:
select (case when max(status) = 0 then 'NOT STARTED'
             when max(status) = 1 and min(status) = max(status) then 'VERIFIED'
             when max(status) = 2 then 'MISCOUNT'
             else 'IN PROGRESS'
        end)
from t
group by asn;

A: Can you try this,
SELECT ASN,
        CASE WHEN MAX_STATUS = 2 THEN 'MISCOUNT'
             WHEN MAX_STATUS = 0 THEN 'NOT STARTED'
             WHEN MAX_STATUS = 1 AND MIN_STATUS = 1 THEN 'VERIFIED'
             WHEN MAX_STATUS = 1 AND MIN_STATUS = 0 THEN 'IN-PROGRESS'
         END STATUS
FROM
(SELECT ASN, MAX(STATUS) MAX_STATUS, MIN(STATS) MIN_STATUS
FROM STAGELINE
GROUP BY ASN) A

Top Dealmakers Make A Deal On Border Security…Including Funds For New Barriers
Now The Question Is Will Congress Pass, And Will Trump Sign A Bipartisan Agreement That Doesn't Give Him Everything He's Demanded?
The tentative agreement was apparently hammered out not by the full bipartisan conference committee, but by its 4 highest-ranking members: New York Democratic Representative Nita Lowey, Alabama Republican Senator Richard Shelby, Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, and Texas Republican Representative Kay Granger. And these are the main features (as gleaned from various news sources, mostly the New York Times, Roll Call, and Bloomberg, since there's been no official announcement or rollout — the earliest we might see something on paper is probably tomorrow):
$1.375-billion for border barriers, far shy of the $5.7-billion Trump was demanding, and slightly less than the amount included in a December bill, written when Republicans were still in control of Congress, which Trump refused to sign. (That set off the shutdown, and subsequent events leading up to this.) And it's only a slightly higher amount than what Democrats offered him in informal discussions in January. That barrier would be in the form of 55 miles of new "bollard fencing" in the Texas Rio Grande area, not a concrete wall. Bollard fencing is made of 18-foot high steel slats, also buried 6 feet into the ground to prevent tunneling (as the photo just below from Business Insider shows). The fact that it's not a concrete wall should be irrelevant, because as we discussed in a column last week, the President has made it known he's OK with bollard fencing since way back when Sean Spicer was his Press Secretary.
And Democrats dropped their demand to sharply cut funding for beds in ICE detention centers. But this one is tricky: the cap on total detention beds would still be reduced, to a daily average of 45,274. There are an estimated 49,047 beds in use in U.S. in immigration detention facilities right now. (Democrats had wanted to lower that number to 16,500.) So in order to average out to the "daily average" number by the end of the year, the number of beds would have to trend down, eventually dropping well below the "daily average", to around 40,000. But the smaller reduction is not a Democrat thing: it actually matches the number that was in the original Republican-drafted bill back in December, and is the number currently funded. Also the language: "daily average" makes it possible for there to be a lot more at any given time without running afoul of the law. Also, the President, through the Defense Department, might have the power to increase the numbers on his own, through Executive Order. So as we said, that one's really tricky.
Democrats were demanding fewer beds because it would've meant ICE having less ability to very aggressively expand the number of raids, etc., and keep efforts mainly to capturing undocumented immigrants with criminal records and not just anyone here illegally. Of course the President twisted this to accuse Democrats of wanting to let criminal aliens run amok.
So it looks like the total amount of funding in the package comes to around $3.1-billion, still far less than the President said he needed for the wall alone (although there may be some expenditures and elements we do not yet know about). But substantially more overall than Democrats were originally willing to give.
Of course, the bill still could face opposition to passage in the House and/or Senate before it gets to the President's desk. Which it needs to by the end of the week in order to avoid another shutdown. The deal is so spanking new few in Congress have had a chance to react to it yet, so we'll get a better idea of how it's received later today. But it's already not being well-received by far right pundits and commentators (Sean Hannity called it a "garbage compromise"), and as we know, those folks sometimes have the ability to turn Trump's sentiments, and quickly. Some Democrats are also probably going to oppose the legislation on the grounds it gives too much power to ICE. As of time of publication of this newsletter Trump had not weighed in on Twitter yet. At a rally last night in El Paso, Texas, The President said he'd been informed of the progress, but did not know the details and "we're building the wall anyway".
So the key is getting enough people in the middle in the Republican-controlled Senate and the Democratically-controlled House to sign onto it. They know if they don't pass it the next shutdown will fall on their shoulders, and worse, will cede a lot of the power normally held by Congress to the President. As Bloomberg puts it: "Tentative Border Deal In Congress Leaves Shutdown Up To Trump." So the next step is a test of leadership for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Pelosi last week said she'd accept any agreement coming out of the committee. McConnell did not make the same promise, but he's indicated he's not itching for another shutdown. Also, the committee is not likely to have come forth with an agreement they don't think will pass both the Senate and House. So will it pass? Says Senator Shelby "we think so…we hope so". So we'll see…
And tomorrow we'll talk about why it was so important for Congress, and the country that this deal got done, assuming it actually gets done…

Cambridge will welcome nurses, nursing leaders and researchers from across Europe following a successful bid by Anglia Ruskin University to host the fourth bi-annual Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) European Conference in 2018.
The STTI is a not-for-profit organisation of more than 125,000 nurses who use knowledge, scholarship and learning to improve the health of people around the world. Its mission is to support the learning, knowledge and professional development of nurses committed to making a difference.
Nurses from across the UK and the rest of the world will be invited to Anglia Ruskin's Cambridge campus, making use of its state-of-the-art facilities. Anglia Ruskin students will be encouraged to attend and participate in the event.
The theme of the conference has yet to be confirmed, but a proposal has been made for "creating an evidence base to inform high-quality nursing practice". Anglia Ruskin's successful bid was announced at the current STTI conference taking place in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. Previous conferences have been held in Cardiff and Gothenburg.
"As the largest provider of nursing education in the East of England, it is a real coup for Anglia Ruskin to be hosting such a prestigious event. We are delighted that the panel has chosen Cambridge as the backdrop for this important international conference.
"The event will provide an opportunity for a wide range of nurses, including many from Anglia Ruskin, to participate in discussions about the future of nursing and the wider provision of health care.
Anglia Ruskin will be hosting the conference in partnership with the English Chapter of STTI.

The team won a bronze medal in the 1954 FIBA World Championship, the best finish by any team outside the Americas and Europe. Also, the team took a fifth-place finish in 1936 Summer Olympics, the best finish by any team outside the Americas, Europe and Oceania. The Philippines has the most wins in the Olympics among teams outside the Americas, Europe and Oceania.
Aside from the bronze medal at the FIBA World Cup and the fifth-place Olympic finish, the Philippines has won five FIBA Asia Cups (formerly known as the FIBA Asia Championship), four Asian Games men's basketball gold medals, eight SEABA Championships, all but one Southeast Asian Games men's basketball gold medals, and has the most titles in Southeast Asia Basketball Association men's championship, being considered as the powerhouse team in Southeast Asia and one of Asia's elite basketball teams. The country has also participated in five FIBA World Cups and seven Olympic Basketball Tournaments.
The Philippines first participated in international basketball in the Far Eastern Championship Games in 1913. The Philippines defeated China in what was the first international game in Asia. The Philippines won all but one (1921) championship until 1934. The games were not under the supervision of FIBA as the organization was founded in 1932.
The Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) was founded in 1936, and became a part of FIBA later that year. Also in the same year, the BAP sent a team nicknamed "the Islanders" that participated in the first Olympic basketball tournament in Berlin. With the tournament under a single-elimination round format from the third game onwards, the Philippines won their first three games only to face the United States in their fourth game. The USA doubled the Philippines' score as they advanced to the next round, and subsequently win the gold medal undefeated. The Philippines wound up fifth place, winning the rest of their games, in the best finish by an Asian team in Olympic basketball history. Aside from silver medalists Canada, the Philippines was the only other team that only had one loss in the tournament.
The Philippines returned to the 1948 Olympics in London. The team finished fourth of six teams in their group to be eliminated. The team wound up in twelfth place.
In the 1950s–1960s, the Philippines was among the best in the world, producing world-class players like Carlos Loyzaga, Lauro Mumar, Mariano Tolentino, Francisco Rabat and Edgardo Ocampo. In 1951, team won the inaugural Asian Games basketball tournament in New Delhi, India. The team finished ahead of Japan and four other teams to win the gold medal. On the next Asian Games in 1954 in Manila that served as a qualifiers for the World Championship later that year, the team finished first anew, beating out the Republic of China (Taiwan), Japan and South Korea in the final round.
In 1954 FIBA World Championship in Brazil, Loyzaga was a part of the Mythical Team selection, where the Philippines won the bronze medal. The Philippines finished second in their group behind Brazil and ahead of Paraguay to enter the final round, where the team lost against the US by only 13 points; only the loss against the US and two losses against Brazil were the Philippines' only losses in the world championship. To date, the Philippines' performance remains the best performance by an Asian team in the World Championship.
In the 1956 Olympics, the Philippines finished seventh. The team qualified to the quarterfinals, with only loss against the USA. However, the team lost all of their games against France, Uruguay and Chile in the quarterfinals. The Philippines defeated Chile in the seventh-place game to finish with a 4–4 record. Two years later, in the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo, the Philippines won its third consecutive gold medal, finishing first in the final round.
The Philippines was grouped with Bulgaria, Puerto Rico and Uruguay in the 1959 FIBA World Championship. The team finished third, losing against Bulgaria and Puerto Rico, to crash out of the final round. The Philippines won all of the games in the classification round against the United Arab Republic (Egypt) and Canada to meet Uruguay for the eighth-place game. The team defeated Uruguay again to finish eighth. This would be the last tournament of Loyzaga and company.
Birth of the Asian championships
Starting in 1960, the Asian Basketball Championship was held to determine Asia's participants in the Olympics and the World Championships. Qualifying for the Asian Championship was by subzone, or by the ranking in the most recent tournament; in this case, with the Philippines being the strongest team in Southeast Asia, the country will qualify easily for the continental championship, even if they failed to qualify via rankings from the previous tournament. The inaugural Asian Championship was held in Manila.
With an Asian Championship, the Philippines qualified for the 1960 Olympics. In Rome, the Philippines did not qualify for the medal round, but did beat Spain in the preliminaries, ultimately finishing 11th out of 16 nations. The country was supposed to host the 1963 World Championship, but President Diosdado Macapagal refused to allow players from Yugoslavia and other communist countries to enter the country. This caused the Philippines, despite winning the Asian Championships, to qualify via a pre-Olympic tournament, in which they were unsuccessful.[2]
In the fifth championship at Bangkok, the Philippines finished third, after a one-point loss against Japan, and an 86–95 loss against South Korea.
Creation of the Philippine Basketball Association
In 1975, after disputes with the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP), nine teams pulled out of BAP's jurisdiction and founded the professional Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), taking along all the best players with them. This caused the BAP to send weakened teams in the subsequent international tournaments, as professionals are not allowed to play. The Filipinos fail to defend their Asian championship in 1975, with India earning a shock blowout win to deny the Philippines a top-4 finish. The Chinese won the championship, beginning their unbeaten championship run that will last into 1983. The nationals were denied of a top 4 finish in the 1977 Asian Championship, losing this time to Malaysia. The Philippines then hosted the 1978 FIBA World Championship, losing all of the games via blowouts to finish last in the final round.
The NCC program (1980–1986)
To offset the loss of players of the PBA, the BAP delegated to businessman Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr. the formation of a team that will train together for several months, in essence, a club team unaffiliated with any league. The result was the Northern Cement basketball team coached by the American Ron Jacobs that had four naturalized players. In the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi, the team finished fourth behind Korea, China and Japan. In the 1983 Asian Championship in Hong Kong, the Philippines forfeited their preliminary round games after a misunderstanding in the rules that caused the Philippines to play more than one naturalized player on the floor at the time. The Philippines, without their naturalized players, made short work of the classification round to finish in ninth place. The Northern Cement team won the 1985 Asian Championship in Kuala Lumpur, to qualify for the 1986 FIBA World Championship in Spain.
On February 22, 1986, the People Power Revolution erupted and forced president Ferdinand Marcos into exile. Cojuangco, a known ally of Marcos, also left the country, causing the team not to participate in the World Championship. The team did participate in the 1986 Asian Games, finishing third behind China and Korea.
Professional era
In 1989, FIBA allowed professionals to play in their tournaments. This caused the BAP to have an agreement with the PBA in which the latter will form national teams for the Asian Games, while the former will do so in other tournaments. In the 1989 Southeast Asian Games, the BAP-sponsored team suffered a shock loss to Malaysia in the gold medal game, the only time the Philippines failed to win the gold medal at the Southeast Asian Games in which basketball was played.
In 1990, the Philippines sent an all-pro national team, coached by Robert Jaworski, to regain the country's basketball supremacy in the Asian Games but the team lost in the final against China and settled for a silver medal. The team includes 1990 PBA Most Valuable Player Allan Caidic and Samboy Lim, who were both selected in the Asian Games Mythical Five Selections.
In the 1991 Asian Championship in Kobe, Japan, the Philippines finished second in their preliminary round group behind China, but a loss against Japan caused their elimination, ending up in seventh place, when Jordan forfeited the game. In 1993, the Philippines failed to qualify in the quarterfinal groups, suffering losses against Korea (five points) and the UAE (four points) en route to an 11th-place finish.
In the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, the Philippines, coached by the American Norman Black, sent in a team composed of PBA players and selected amateurs. The team finish second in the preliminary round, losing to Korea. The loss to Korea meant that the Philippines has to face China; despite losing, the Chinese had their slimmest winning margin in the tournament with nine points, en route to their gold medal. The Philippines were upended by the hosts Japan in the bronze medal game, losing by three points in overtime.
With no PBA players on the roster, the team on the 1995 Asian Championship in Seoul finished last in the preliminary round, but managed to win two games in the classification round to finish 12th out of 19 teams. The team that went to Riyadh for the ABC Championship 1997 did only marginally better; they still finished last in the preliminary round but topped the classification round group en route to a ninth-place finish.
In 1998, the PBA formed the Philippine Centennial Team coached by the American Tim Cone that captured the 21st William Jones Cup championship but finished with the bronze medal in the 1998 Asian Games held in Bangkok. The Filipinos faced their old nemesis Korea in the quarterfinals and were blown out by twenty points, which led them to face China in the semifinals anew. The result would be the same as four years earlier, with the Chinese winning by nine. The Filipinos won the bronze medal game though, against Kazakhstan.
In the 1999 Asian Championship in Fukuoka, Japan, the Philippines, with no PBA players on their roster, finished last in the preliminary round, and second in the classification round to finish 11th out of 15 teams. In Shanghai for the 2001 Asian Championship, the Philippines was suspended by FIBA due to leadership disputes at the BAP. This caused the country to miss their first Asian championship. By 2002, a compromise was sorted out, and the Philippines was allowed to participate in the 2002 Asian Games, coached by Jong Uichico.
In Busan, South Korea, the Philippines easily qualified for the quarterfinals, in which they are grouped with China, Japan and Chinese Taipei. The Philippines won by five points against Japan, and 14 points against Chinese Taipei. The game against China wasn't as close, with the Philippines losing by 41 points, but this assured that they won't have to face China in the semifinals. For the third consecutive time, the Filipinos and Koreans faced in the semifinals, with the same result: the Koreans won over the Philippines, this time by one point. Up by two points, Olsen Racela missed two free throws, that led to a Korean three-pointer at the buzzer to eliminate the Filipinos. The team would lose in the bronze medal game against Kazakhstan by 2 points as Korea defeated China in overtime by a basket to win Asian Games gold for the first time since 1970.
With no PBA players in the roster, the 2003 Asian Championship in Harbin was the worst performance by the team in history: a 15th-place finish out of 16 teams. Unlike in 1997 and 1999, the Philippines had one win in the preliminary round (against Jordan). However, in the classification round, the Philippines emerged winless in a group containing Syria, Kuwait and Hong Kong. Only a blowout win against Malaysia saved the Philippines from dropping to the cellar. After the championship, BAP was heavily criticized and took steps to strengthen the team. However, after a loss against the Parañaque Jets, a team composed of politicians, actors and amateurs, by the BAP-managed team, another leadership crisis in the BAP ensued which caused another suspension from FIBA. As a result, the Philippines was not able to participate in the 2005 FIBA Asia Championship and the 2006 Asian Games.
SBP era (2007–present)
Team Pilipinas (2007–2009)
After the conclusion of the leadership struggle that saw the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), an organization backed by the PBA among others, being recognized by both FIBA and the Philippine Olympic Committee, the Philippines was reinstated by FIBA. San Miguel-Team Pilipinas was hastily assembled for the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship in Tokushima. The team defeated China, which didn't send its best team since they already qualified for the 2008 Olympics, but lost to Iran and Jordan to bow out of contention. The Filipinos and Chinese met again for the ninth place game in which the Filipinos won by two points. The Philippines qualified for the 2009 FIBA Asia Championship in Tianjin. The Philippines advanced to the quarterfinals to meet Jordan. The Jordanians raced to any early lead where the Filipinos never recovered to win the game. The Filipinos and the Koreans played for seventh place, which saw the Koreans winning by two points.
Gilas Pilipinas (2010–present)
Following the Northern Cement model of the 1980, the SBP established the Smart Gilas Pilipinas program, backed by SBP President Manuel V. Pangilinan, as a developmental team that aims to qualify in the 2012 Olympics. In the 2010 Asian Games, the Filipinos met the Korean team anew in the quarterfinals and was eliminated. In the 2011 championship at Wuhan, the SBP successfully petitioned the naturalization of Marcus Douthit; the team progressed up to the semifinals for the first time since 1987. Meeting Jordan, the team lost, never recovering after a third quarter run by the Jordanians. In the bronze medal game against Korea with a berth to an Olympic qualifying tournament at stake, the team raced to an early lead, but the Koreans cut the lead and eventually won the game after the Filipinos missed free-throws at the end game. Despite missing an Olympic berth, Smart Gilas' performance was the best finish in the championship since 1987, and the best finish in any major Asian competition since 2002.
After failing to qualify for the Olympics, the SBP decided to form the next edition of Smart Gilas Pilipinas team (Smart Gilas Pilipinas 2.0) composed of PBA players. The Smart Gilas Pilipinas program was renamed Gilas Pilipinas in 2013, still sponsored by Smart Communications. The national team played in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship which was hosted at home. After losing to Chinese Taipei in the last game of the preliminary round to finish second, the team won four consecutive games to set up a semifinal against the Koreans. In a close game, the Philippines pulled away late in the game to win 86–79. The win sent the team to the finals and guaranteed qualification to the FIBA Basketball World Cup (new name of the FIBA World Championship) for the first time since 1978. The Philippines, appearing in the first FIBA Asia Championship final since the introduction of a championship game in 1987, lost by 14 points against undefeated Iran in the final to settle for a silver medal.
The Congress of the Philippines naturalized Andray Blatche in time for the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup to beefed-up its center position. With Blatche in tow, the Philippines nearly won four tightly fought games against higher ranked teams of Croatia, Greece, Argentina and Puerto Rico, before winning in overtime against Senegal to record its first victory at the World Cup in 40 years. In the 2014 Asian Games, Blatche was not able to join the squad due to residency requirements by the Olympic Council of Asia and Douthit suit up as the national team's naturalized player instead. The Philippines finished seventh, its worst finish in the Asian Games.
On October 30, 2014, the SBP announced the formation of two selection committees to search and appoint the coach and players of future Philippine teams – for elite level and for youth level tournaments.[3][4][5][6] Chot Reyes remained coach until a replacement was decided.[7] The new roster aims to compete in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship in China which will serve as the Asian qualifiers of the 2016 Summer Olympics Basketball tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
On December 23, 2014, Tab Baldwin was formally announced as the new coach of the Philippine national team.[8] Baldwin's four-year tenure as coach officially began on January 1, 2015.[9] The team captured the silver medal in the 2015 William Jones Cup but fell short of the gold medal in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship. However, the Philippines qualified for the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament but the team failed in their bid to Rio Olympics losing to France and New Zealand.
The team won gold during 2016 SEABA Cup and a qualifying slot in the 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge. However, as they were represented by the Gilas Cadets with no professional or naturalize players, the team suffered its worst performance placing 9th over-all, a very huge setback due to conflicting schedule with the national league and mismanagement of the SBP.[10] In October 2016, Chot Reyes returned as head coach. In 2017, the Philippines hosted the 2017 SEABA Championship and the team swept the competition for the gold medal and the lone spot in the sub-zone for the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup.[11] During the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup, the national team would sweep the group stage consisting of teams from China, Iraq and Qatar. The team failed to advance in the quarterfinals however and finished the tournament in seventh place.[12] The Philippines defended their gold medal for the 12th straight time in the 2017 South East Asian Games beating Indonesia in the finals.[13]
FIBA introduced a qualification process which does not involve the continental tournaments for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The Philippines' qualification bid was marred by a brawl during the team's July 2018 tie against Australia in the first round of the Asian qualifiers.[14] The incident caused suspensions for some of the players and coaches as well as a fine for SBP.[15] Chot Reyes, who served suspension due to his involvement in the brawl was also replaced by Yeng Guiao. That game and incident started a slump in the standings that almost eliminated the Philippines from the World Cup, but under Guiao they managed to qualify in the last matchday by beating Kazakhstan, combined with a Lebanon loss to South Korea.[16] The 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup saw the Philippines with a 0-5 record, the country's worst performance since the 1978 edition, losing four of its five games in a blowout. This was due to lack of preparations and key players begging off from the team, as well as injuries. The country will co-host the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup with Japan and Indonesia.
FIBA suspensions
In 1963, FIBA suspended the Philippines for its failure to stage the 1963 FIBA World Championship after Philippine president Diosdado Macapagal refused to allow players from Yugoslavia and other communist countries to enter the country. Later, the Philippines, despite being the Asian champion, was forced to play in a pre-Olympic tournament in order to qualify for the 1964 Summer Olympics.[2]
The leadership crisis in the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) worsened after a lengthy feud between the group of Graham Lim and Tiny Literal and the group of Freddie Jalasco and Lito Puyat which resulted in the suspension of the BAP. After a few months, FIBA intervened and ordered an election which resulted in Literal's victory as the president of the BAP. The suspension was quickly lifted and the Philippines was able to compete in the Southeast Asian Games in Malaysia.[2]
The Philippines was again suspended on July 2005 after a long-standing feud between the BAP and the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).
The conflict began on April 10, 2005, when the BAP-sponsored Cebuana-Lhuillier Philippine National team (composed of little-known amateur players) lost to a lowly Parañaque Jets team (made up of showbiz personalities) in a National Basketball Conference (NBC) pre-season tournament at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. Upon hearing the news, POC president Jose Cojuangco, Jr. called for improvements in the national team, most notably, in the sending of a new team made up of players from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
The PBA, together with the Philippine Basketball League (PBL), the UAAP and the NCAA, reportedly came to an agreement on the formation of a new national team. The POC, through a vote, first suspended, then in a later meeting, expelled the BAP as the official National Sports Association (NSA) for basketball and installed a new member in the Philippine Basketball Federation. The BAP, under new president Joey Lina, said that the expulsion was unconstitutional in the by-laws of the POC.
In hopes of securing a long-term solution, the FIBA ordered the PBA, PBL, UAAP, NCAA and Joey Lina (as an individual – or in Lina's claim, as a representative of the BAP) to form a new constitution or form of a new basketball body. By March 2006, the four stakeholders (PBA, PBL, UAAP and NCAA) signed an agreement to propose a new basketball body (Pilipinas Basketball). Lina refused to sign the memorandum, citing "unbalanced factors" that was put in the draft. After the four stakeholders met with Baumann in South Korea, the suspension was not lifted and the draft for a new body was not accepted since Lina was not in agreement. After several meetings between Baumann and the officials of the BAP and Pilipinas Basketball in Geneva and Bangkok, a Unity Congress was held. The BAP and Pilipinas Basketball agreed to merge, creating the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) as the new national basketball federation. The POC recognized the SBP as the new national governing body for basketball, after which the FIBA finally lifted the almost two-year-old suspension it imposed upon the country.
The first Philippine team that competed in the 1936 Olympic Games were known as "the Islanders". After the Philippines became a republic in 1946, the national team was simply referred to by the press as the "RP 5" or "RP team" ("RP" standing for "Republic of the Philippines").
When the Northern Cement basketball team represented the Philippines from 1983 to 1985, the team was referred to as the "NCC" team. After the disbandment of the NCC team in 1986, the national team referred to as "RP 5" or "RP team" once again.
In the 1990 Asian Games, following the example of the first U.S. Dream Team, the Philippine team was referred to the "Philippines Dream Team", as this was the first national team with PBA players. Later, it was referred to as "Team Philippines". Eventually, "Team Philippines" became the name used to refer to the entire Philippine contingent in multi-sports events such as the Asian and Olympic Games.
During the Philippine Centennial in 1998, the team was officially known as the Philippine Centennial Team.
From 2005 to 2009, Team Pilipinas represented the men's basketball team – the team was initiative of the PBA and sponsored by San Miguel Corporation (2005–2007, named "San Miguel-Team Pilipinas") and Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. (2009, named "Powerade-Team Pilipinas").
In 2010, the Smart Gilas Pilipinas and Sinag Pilipinas programs replaced the Team Pilipinas program. Sinag Pilipinas represents the country in regional competitions such as the Southeast Asian Games and SEABA Championship. Smart Communications is the main sponsor of both programs. Gilas is a Filipino word that loosely translates into English as "prowess", and sinag translates as "ray" (sunlight). The name Gilas was adopted from the mascot of the 2005 Southeast Asian Games held in Manila, Philippines which is an eagle. The mascot was designed by Filipino sports journalist Danny Simon.
In 2013, the Smart brand was dropped from the branding of both programs, although Smart Communications remained as the main sponsor. In 2015, the Sinag Pilipinas program was renamed into as the "Gilas Cadets".
In Dec. 2016, The Gilas Pilipinas program got a big boost as a new backer in Chooks-to-Go to form partnership with Smart Communications in the united effort in supporting the Pinoy cagers in their quest for international glory. The team carry that name when participated in 2017 international games.
The squad that participated in the 2018 Asian Games in particular prefers to call themselves as Rain or Shine-Philippines (RoS-Philippines), Gilastopainters or simply Team Pilipinas due to the core of the team being composed of Rain or Shine Elasto Painters players instead of the Gilas nickname. The squad was standing in for the Chot Reyes-led roster which had many of its players as well as Reyes himself suspended due to their involvement in the Philippines-Australia brawl.[17]
Gilas Pilipinas continued to be used to refer to the men's national team. In May 2019, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas formally adopted the Gilas Pilipinas name for the country's women's, youth, and 3x3 national teams as well as part of a larger rebrand and restructuring.[18]
2002 Asian Games red uniform
The national colors of blue, white and red have been used in national team uniforms throughout history. Most teams used a blue uniform as the dark-colored uniform, and a white uniform for light-colored uniform. Red was occasionally used as a tertiary color. In the 2002 Asian Games, the dark-colored uniform was a red one. The SBP has consistently used the blue and white uniform as dark and light uniforms, respectively. Nike has been the official outfitter of the national team ever since the SBP took over. In the 2013 Asian Championship, the color white has been used to identify the team with the fans.
It usually uses a distinct coat of arms, as seen above, distinct from the SBP (or BAP) logo, or the official coat of arms.

America's Front Line Physicians Express Serious Concerns with the American Health Care Act
Washington, DC - After the release of the two budget reconciliation bills today, the physician leaders of our organizations, representing over 500,000 physicians and medical students, visited with members of the House of Representatives to urge that they "First, do no harm" to our patients by rolling back key coverage, benefits and consumer protections as required under current law, including the Affordable Care Act. We are concerned that by rushing to a mark-up tomorrow in the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means Committees, there will be insufficient time to obtain non-partisan estimates of this legislation's impact by the Congressional Budget Office, or for medical organizations like ours and other key stakeholders in the health care community to offer substantive input on the bill.
During our meetings with members of the House of Representatives today, we shared our joint principles for health care reform. They reflect our collective expertise, and represent the health care needs patients present to our members every day. We urge Representatives to utilize these principles to evaluate any legislation to modify current law, and ensure that patients and providers are not adversely affected. While each of our organizations individually are still reviewing the changes proposed by the American Health Care Act, released just hours ago, we share a concern that it will not meet our principles because it will likely result in less access to coverage and higher costs for millions of patients.
We urge House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and the chairs of these two committees to reconsider the decision to move forward with mark-up, and instead allow the time needed for a thorough review of the bill to ensure that it meets our overarching principle, "First, do no harm" to patients.
