Julian and Josie Robertson had a collection of 15 works by influential modern European artists that were displayed in their New York City apartment in the Hampshire House, Central Park South, In 2009, Julian Robertson promised to donate these 15 works to one museum. The Robertsons fell in love with New Zealand when they first vacationed here in 1978. Julian had earned his money in pioneering the modern hedge fund industry, and in 2001 he began investing in New Zealand, building luxury resorts. When Robertson died in 2022, the collection went to the Auckland Art Gallery.
