The Brinker Collection extends and complements the acknowledged masters of Hungarian modernism while it introduces the American audience to original artists of more modest reputation.

Nancy Goodman Brinker, who began her collection while serving as the US Ambassador to Hungary from 2001 to 2003, said she "was struck by the richness and powerful quality of Hungarian painting."

The showing of the Brinker Collection at the Peoria Art Guild from October 6 – November 11, 2006 was a huge success. A few works from Nancy Brinker's collection also were part of the exhibition "Treasures Revealed: The Art of Hungary 1890-1956," in Denver.
