 Cultureport: The Arthur S. Goldberg Collection, by Francine Koslow Miller
Although Arthur Goldberg has been collecting art with the true dedication of an "art addict" for over twenty years, only recently has he (following a trip to Peggy Guggenheim's surrealist dominated collection in Venice) recognized the prevalence of fantasy and illusion in his own collection of representational and figurative art.
Goldberg explained that the metaphysical-looking architecture in the background represents the ruins of the 1936 World's Fair in Queens, New York, near where the artist spent her childhood.
Goldberg's art collecting tastes took a more definitive shift towards expressionist fantasy in 1989, when he attended a lecture given by the artist Henry Schwartz at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, held in conjunction with the exhibition, "The Surrealism of Everyday Life: Paintings by Gerry Bergstein".
