Note:
David Burliuk's work is central to the Royal Academy, London's current exhibition, 'In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s', organised by Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid. Alongside his brother, Vladimir, Alexander Bogomazov and Aleksandra Ekster, Burliuk was a pioneering artist in the region, developing an avant-garde language that combined folk subject matter and modernist form. From 1922 he settled in the United States, exhibiting widely throughout his life.

London-based Goldenberg amassed a wonderful and important collection, with a particular focus on American and European minimalism, owning pieces by Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman and Rachel Whiteread. Goldenberg was on the boards of a number of leading institutions, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and The Art Institute of Chicago.
