Mr. Brodsky was a prolific poet, scholar and collector. By the age of 73 he had written nearly 12,000 poems. The passion Mr. Brodsky provided to his writing is similar to that of his collecting. He had a love of the Art Nouveau period his entire life and became a meticulous collector.
"He specifically went out of his way to only purchase from the most respected and well known galleries and only purchased the highest quality examples he could find and one of a kind items. He didn't just collect Art Nouveau, he collected the best of the best," said Troika Brodsky, Louis Brodsky's son.
