The Gallerists 05 - Iva Nesvadbová
Mark Ther
Martin and Miroslava Kubík, brother and sister, set up a gallery in Litomyšl in 2012, which they named after their father Miroslav Kubík, the founder of a family business Kubík a.s.
Martin and Miroslava Kubík collect contemporary modern art, especially paintings.
Václav Drozd
They are often presented as condescending patrons of arts, who have decided to put aside a couple of their millions and contribute to public welfare and the promotion of exquisite culture. However, their seemingly good intentions should be seen with view to the context of the troubled political and economic past of our (and not only our) country. We should know how they acquired their property and what social or ecological damage they caused while amassing their fortune.
