The book-album Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan in Private Collections of the USA and Canada introduces the reader to unique and diverse artistic artifacts from Uzbekistan, most of which have been brought to another continent through vicissitudes of fate. These are embroidery, examples of fabrics, clothes and shoes, and household items. Now they are kept abroad in the private collections of such well-known collectors and experts as Marilyn and Marshall Wolfe, Bruce Baganz, Roger Pratt and Thomas Cole. One of the collections – that owned by David and Elizabeth Reisbord – was donated by them to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Some of the rarities from another one, owned by David Paley, are also promised to three American museums after a 2022 exhibition. Each section of this volume is a story of love for unique masterpieces created by nameless weavers and embroideresses who once lived in the cities and villages of Uzbekistan.
