James Butterwick in TEFAF: Meet the Experts film

“An art dealer in early 20th-century Russian and Ukrainian art, James Butterwick shares his journey towards this specialism and his passion for one artist in particular: the Ukrainian avant-garde painter and theorist Oleksandr Bohomazov (1880-1930). While part of the active artistic community of his time, Bohomazov has remained largely unknown and Butterwick is dedicated to his reappraisal. He has presented numerous works by Bohomazov at TEFAF, seven of which were acquired by the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo”.
