Marlene Corbun stands as an embodiment of multidimensional expertise, blending art historical knowledge with strategic acumen. Her astute gaze, reminiscent of the careful scrutiny she bestows upon works of art, hints at a profound understanding of the art world's intricate dynamics. Behind her, an array of charms dangle like a creative rendition of a child's mobile, a personal homage to her role as a mother and a symbol of the playful yet profound balance she maintains between her professional insights and familial inspirations.
As Head Curator at laCollection, Marlene masterfully curates experiences that resonate with both sentimental and economic significance. Her background — an alchemy of prestigious education at The Courtauld Institute and EM Lyon Business School, along with invaluable industry experience at renowned institutions like White Cube and Christie's — informs her unique approach to art collection consultancy.
Marlene's intellectual curiosity once explored the chromatic depths of Rothko's color fields alongside Sartre's existential theatre. Today, she continues to contribute to the discourse on contemporary art, shaping the art collections and dialogues of the future with her thoughtfully composed articles and well-considered advisory. At laCollection, her curation goes beyond mere selection; it is about crafting legacies, and enriching collections with works that bear both the weight of history and the potential for future storytelling.
