C harles Zadok and his wife Eugenia “Genia” Zadok assembled an exceptional collects ion of Post-War European Art which introduced an American audience to the Avant-garde artistic movements of the 1940s and 50s. While the Zadoks initially collects ed antique furniture, tapestries, chalices and gothic chests, by 1940 their focus turned to modern painting and sculpture. At their home in Fox Point, a suburb of Milwaukee, the couple created a “mecca for art lovers,” acquiring works directly from Picasso, Miró, Delaunay and Léger, many of whom Genia had personally befriended during their extended stays in Paris. The home even featured the affectionately named “Zadok Gallery”—a two car garage redesigned into a dedicated viewing space for their art. The Zadok’s collects ion would ultimately be featured at both the Arts Club of Chicago and at the Milwaukee Art Institute, bringing their innovative collects ing vision to the American public, and a number of pieces would eventually be donated to public institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
