About Drs. Frank Pino (1943-2019) and Barbara Gonzalez-Pino (1941-2020): Both doctorate-level professors at The University of Texas at San Antonio for nearly 40 years, the Pinos were prominent members of local and international academic and cultural circles. They traveled extensively through Mexico and indulged their passions for collecting the folk art and handcrafts that the country's artesanías have made famous, filling their sprawling Hollywood Park home with hundreds of beautiful objects they brought back with them. As well as being beloved UTSA faculty members, they were closely involved with several institutions including the University Roundtable, Sembradores of San Antonio, The San Antonio Conservation Society, El Patronato de la cultura Hispanoamericana, and The University of Texas at Austin. All net proceeds from the Pino estate will be donated to numerous charitable beneficiaries in the San Antonio area.
