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
At the end of 2012 there were five candidates for the position of the director of the House of Arts in Brno. The Brno Townhall refused to make their names public referring to the personal data protection law.The selection committee  recommended Terezie Petišková. One of the two unsuccessful candidates was the previous director Rostislav Koryčánek who was removed from office immediately after the announcement of the results by the selection committee. The reasons for this premature removal from office remained unexplained.
Marek Collection does not represent the personal taste of one collector but the collection originated as a systematical joint effort.
The collectors focus particularly on the work of young beginning artists, they purchase works of art by young artists and thus provide testimony to the energy of artists who have just entered the art scene.
