Liubov Gulbrandsen | CEO & Founder of the BOCOR Group and DAKKARA ART Gallery (previously - BOCCARA ART Galleries)
Liubov Gulbrandsen, born on May 14, 1983, is the CEO and founder of BOCOR Group and DAKKARA ART Gallery, a modern and contemporary fine art gallery formerly known as BOCCARA ART Galleries, located in Palm Beach, Florida. She is an active member of the NAWBO National Association of Women Business Owners, NOW National Organization for Women and the Women Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach, Florida.
From 2016 to 2022, Liubov led a global chain of art galleries with locations in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Mexico City, along with permanent exhibition spaces and representatives in Monaco, Hong Kong, and Seoul, South Korea. She first gained international recognition in 2001 at the age of eighteen as one of the pioneering creators of an innovative online art platform. This achievement motivated her to engage with art galleries to represent artists and to explore new digital avenues for creating and marketing art. She has consistently maintained that online technologies are essential for the future economic development of the art industry.
In December 2023, BOCCARA ART Galleries underwent a rebranding to become BOCOR Group, a change intended to provide clarity regarding the company's diverse business ventures. The rebranding was aimed at helping customers understand that the company offers a wide range of products and services beyond just art. This new initiative positions the group for international expansion and diversification across art, design, and real estate.
CEO Liubov Gulbrandsen noted that the name BOCOR pays homage to the company’s history, although it does not represent any specific acronym: “The rebranding occurred at an opportune moment. Transitioning from a long-standing name to a new identity was a strategic decision to embrace growth and signify our evolution from an art gallery to a multifaceted group of companies under the BOCOR umbrella.”
BOCOR Group is among the many corporations establishing a presence in Florida, contributing to the region's remarkable cultural and economic development. In early 2022, BOCCARA ART Miami and BOCCARA ART New York Galleries relocated to Palm Beach, a significant move in the history of what is now DAKKARA ART Gallery, following the major clients who had also made the transition.
Today, DAKKARA ART Gallery is situated in the heart of Palm Beach Island at 139 N County Rd, #14, Palm Beach, Florida.
DAKKARA ART Gallery offers a variety of virtual art experiences, including virtual gallery tours and online exhibitions that are freely accessible. In addition to its extensive and diverse curated exhibition program, the gallery continues to forge partnerships with museums and scout for representatives in major cities. In 2020, DAKKARA ART Gallery collaborated with Neiman Marcus Group and Bergdorf Goodman to create online sales platforms and a rotating series of exhibitions that travel throughout the United States.
The gallery curates monthly exhibitions and is selected to participate in over 12 major international art fairs annually, including Art Miami, Asia Week New York, Art New York, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, Art Palm Beach, Art Boca Raton, LA Art Show, SOFA Chicago, Zona Maco in Mexico City, ESTRE Arte in Uruguay, PArC Peru Art Contemporaneo, KIAF in Seoul, Fine Art Asia in Hong Kong, and Art Shanghai.
Liubov remains an active participant in the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), NOW National Organization for Women and the Women Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach, Florida.
