John Suau was the director of my gallery in Madrid for over three years. He coordinated the gallery’s participation in international art fairs like ARCO and ARTLA. John assumed all the duties inherent to this position with a high level of professionalism. He brought creativity and possessed a deep knowledge of the art world and technology. Not only did he know how to organize all the adminstrative gallery work perfectly (art handling and registration, marketing strategies & campaign deployment, exhibition preparation and installation, international transportation needs of artists, etc.), but his extraordinary physical presence, elegance and positive and friendly manner resulted in excellent public relations for the gallery. Hard-working, efficient and extremely professional, John Suau is without a doubt a great asset to any organization.
