Carlos A. Rivera Artist
Carlos A. Rivera (born July 3, 1987) is an Argentine art dealer based in Los Angeles, California. He is a graduate from both the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts and the Marshall School of Business. He founded RIVERA & RIVERA, a contemporary art gallery headquartered in West Hollywood, California, at the age of 22. He closed the gallery in December of 2012 to head an emerging art fund. Inspired by algo trading, Rivera brought on a financial engineer and data scientist to model the trajectory of several thousand emerging artists. After the fund's horizon, Rivera began publicly publishing the results of the emerging art algorithm on a website first branded as SellYouLater and shortly thereafter relaunched as ArtRank.
