This auction had its premiere at the Russian Samovar Restaurant in New York City on May 24, 2005, and many of the paintings were assembled by the Samovar's guiding spirit, Roman Kaplan. The works remain on view at the Samovar. We at the Brodsky Fund extend our profound thanks to Roman and the staff of the Samovar for their support.
