From Woozle 16:42, 4 May 2005 (EDT):
Alexander Flores is a Mexican cubist scupltor. Vbz.net carried his work for several years, and successfully processed a handful of customer orders for his pieces.
Lately, however, I have found it very difficult to find reliable sources for his work. The supplier I was in touch with earlier -- "The Art of Alexander Flores" -- dropped their web site, and stopped responding to email queries. Due to my phone-phobia I was only able to make one or two attempts to contact them by phone; one of those attempts resulted in talking to someone who appeared to know only Spanish, which I don't speak.
In 2003 or so there was another web site set up as a wholesale source for Flores's work, but it appears to be defunct as well.
I was also contacted by a former gallery owner who had some pieces, but we seem to have fallen out of touch with each other. (Ms. Bambrick, if you're still out there -- contact me!)
If anyone has any contact information for Mr. Flores or anyone authorized to sell his pieces, wholesale or retail, please contact me or post the information here and I will follow up.
In the meantime, Alexander Flores's art remains unavailable to us. :-(
Contact Information
This contact information from 1999 (found here) may be out of date:
EL ARTE DE ALEXANDER FLORES, S.A. de C.V. Alexander Flores, Owner Tel. (52-3) 683-38-00 Fax. 681-09-36 Tonala, Jalisco.
"Offers decorative sculpture handmade out of paper mache & ceramic. Also offers silver jewelry. Works of art come with serial number & certificate of authenticity. Seeks N. American clients."
Questions
Flores's work seems to be gaining in popularity, as evidenced by increasing prices. Does anyone know if Flores himself is doing well as a result of this? Or is someone else making most of the profit? If he is the owner of "El Arte de Alexander Flores", then it looks good -- but confirmation would be nice to have.
