DAVID BURLIUK (RUSSIAN 1882-1967) Enigma. Australia , circa 1962 oil on canvas 45 x 38 cm (17 3/8 x 15 in.) signed and dated 2001 [sic] lower right LOT NOTES A well-known habit of David Burliuk's, in his later years, was to date his works with humorous references to his "futurist" past, such as in the present work. While it is dated tongue-in-cheek by Burliuk "2001," Enigma most likely dates to 1962, when Burliuk and his wife traveled to Australia to exhibit at Moreton Galleries in Brisbane.
