The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S. such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions.
