We had the good fortune of connecting with Pablo Bogdan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Pablo, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I was looking for an art gallery location and I traveled the world before deciding. I thought LA is a good start because of the strategic location as the door of AustralAsia and a trampolin to other markets such as NYC and Mexico. The scarcity of Latin American Art and the need for new art languages made it a good opportunity.

What should our readers know about your business?
Buenos Aires, Argentina 1980, Pablo Bogdan is a lawyer, original artist manager and LA based gallery owner. Pablo started his interest for art at very young age influenced by his father, an antique and art collector. Pablo’s career as art advisor and art marchant in Buenos Aires predominantly started intermediating between BA and Miami, FL.

Starting his lawyer career back in 2006, he soon blend into art representations with the ethical commitment from a lawyer representing the interests of the artists and the collectors as one long term relationship. Soon after his first representations, Pablo developed strong relations with artists, collectors, art producers and fellow gallerists.

In 2020 he organized the art auction for the leukemia research to Fundaleu offering over 130 pieces from 34 different artists.
During 2021 and 2022 Pablo organized different art shows in the City of LA to finally open his art gallery at the end of 2022 in Los Angeles.
His artists and relationships made him get acquainted with Annina Nosei, former curator, art teacher and gallerist of artists like Marcel Duchamp, Jean Michel Basquiat, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer among many successful others. Annina’s influence and works suggestions are a main inspiration for Pablo’s gallery exhibitions.

The artists he represents can be seen at his Gallery Artsy page. Interviews and shows at his YouTube page.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Everytime an artist makes a show at my gallery and is in LA I take him to 9 museums: Norton Simon
The Broad
Moca
Getty Museum
Getty Villa
MOLA
OCMA
Hammer
LACMA
Those are a must and they always teach me something new of their favourite pieces on each one. I’m becoming an expert on those collections after so many visits.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A good friend and Art Collector is Sensei Boris Brezhnev from Dynamo GYM in Beverly Hills. He is from Ucrania and teaches Sambo, Judo and Jujitsu. The GYM is supported by Arnold Swarzeneeger and Nicholas Cage. Boris is a referent of education and good moral.
