The Collectors 5 - Martin a Miroslava Kubíkovi

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. The gallery is located in house no. 71 in the square Smetanovo náměstí (the space was originally intended for offices) and they have been organising exhibitions there already since 2005. The gallery housed works by Czech artists, such as Jiří David, Stanislav Diviš, Tomáš Císařovský, Stanislav Kolíbal, the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer and Bohdan Kopecký, a native from Litomyšl. Besides solo and group shows there is also space for various topical exhibitions. Since 2012 the gallery has been organizing in collaboration with the curator Martin Dostál an annual symposium for young painters. Martin and Miroslava Kubík collect contemporary modern art, especially paintings.

The Collectors 5 - Martin a Miroslava Kubíkovi
The collection of Alberto di Stefano and Eugenio Percossi has a representative character with view to the Czech art scene and it also includes a number of works by foreign artists, especially those who exhibited their work within the projects of the Centre for Contemporary Art. The collectors do not focus on any specific type of media, they select works primarily according to their taste not according to the market value. Their collection of art is housed in the reconstructed chateau in Třebešice together with a large number of art installations and site specific work.
Richard Watzke is surrounded by numerous works of art and is known for his interest in modern glass sculpture. According to him, individual works of art enrich our lives, however, they are not irreplaceable artefacts – they are also products intended for sale or investment. Some people find Richard Watzke fascinating, others annoying, however, he hardly ever leaves someone cold.
