Throughout his adult life, Togo suffered from various physical ailments and diseases which required hospitalization and operations. Having little or no insurance or finances to pay for his treatments, he was able to persuade some Doctors to trade their fees for his artworks. Dr. Bernard Moskowitz, or, "Doc Bernie" as Togo referred to him, was one of those.
As years passed, the Doctor continued his personal collection of Togo's works by tracking down other physicians who owned them. Many pictures were either discarded or regarded as worthless and gathering dust in attics and cellars. So, their owners were surprised when Doc Bernie offered to purchase them. He bought as many as he could and quite a few from deceased doctors' estates' auctions, as well. Even in retirement, he traveled great distances to seek out missing Togo's. His collection contains many highly sought after rarities.
Mrs.Moskowitz, also a doctor, was not a fan of her husband's unique obsession but she knew he had loved the works, so, when he passed away, she bequeathed his entire collection to Le Muse'e d'Art Du Togo Love.
