Carlos A. Rivera

Carlos A. Rivera (born July 3, 1987) is an Argentine art dealer based in Los Angeles, California. He is a graduate of 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 2012 to head an emerging art fund. Inspired by algorithmic trading, Rivera brought on a financial engineer and data scientist to model the trajectory of 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.
