Miami 2004: The Collectors' Forum, Day Two, David Meets Goliath
Althea Viafora-Kress in an unusual tete-a-tete with Dr. Petra Arends, who represented UBS (a fair sponsor) and its art collection, and Javier Peres, proprietor of Peres Projects, one of the few galleries granted a shipping-container showroom right on the beach.
Dr. Arends is Collection Executive of the UBS Art Collection, which was created from the merger of PaineWebber and UBS financial services companies and claims world-class holdings of the art of the last fifty years.
Peres Projects opened on L.A.'s Chung King Road in March 2003, and continues to foster relationships between international contemporary artists, collectors, critics, curators and consultants. Artists who have exhibited there include Assume Vivid Astro Focus, AsianPunkboy, Amie Dicke, Terence KOH, Jim Drain, John Kleckner and Matthew Greene.
