Gordon B. Lankton (1932-2021), Plastics Entrepreneur, Museum Founder, and Key-Holder to the Town of Clinton, Massachusetts was an example of a true American business success story. He is known for his work at Nypro Products Corporation, building the company from a small start-up into one of the largest international plastics manufacturing companies. He was instrumental in establishing a dozen plants in the United States, and manufacturing facilities in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Ireland, Wales, Germany, Russia, China, India, Singapore, Mexico and the Philippines.
Gordon was a passionate collector and philanthropist. His collecting interests spanned from Russian icons, African sculpture, to World War I and II posters and die-cast model cars. After he retired from Nypro, Gordon founded the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, Massachusetts, which is thought to have the largest collection of Russian icons outside Russia.
Gordon first traveled to India in 1957, followed by further trips in the 1960s. It was during one of these trips that he purchased the current Husain painting.
