Can anyone help me. I need to write a paper on a collector and his/her collection for my assessed piece of work. I have decided on the person and the collection, but this is my difficulty, I cannot remember the man's name nor the exact country he came from. All I know is that he was/is the curator of a small museum in one of the Independant States of the Former Soviet Union (I think it may have been either Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan, but I'm not 100%). Basically, from what I can remember, this man had spent most of his career collecting and rescuing art that had been banned by the Soviet government. Because he lived in such a remote area he was able to do this without being discovered and it has only been recently that this unique collection of art has been discovered. This man risked everything, including, possibly, his life, to preserve works of art that would otherwise have been destroyed. I heard about the article quite some time ago, but I have been unable to find it since. I have contacted the paper that published it but I would appreciate any info that anyone on the List could give me. Many thanks Emma B ===== Emma Brown, 14 Agherton Drive, Portstewart, Co.
