Isaac Wakil, filantrop in nepremičninski magnat, znan po preoblikovanju kulturne in izobraževalne pokrajine v Sydneyu, je umrl v starosti 104 let. Njegovo zapuščino je zaznamovala življenjska velikodušnost in vizionarski prispevki k mestnim institucijam, predvsem umetniški galeriji NSW in univerzi v Sydneyu.
Leta 1949 se je izselil v Avstralijo, kjer je zgradil uspešno in filantropsko življenje.
Wakilovo potovanje se je začelo s poroko s Susan Reznik, romunsko priseljenko, ki je z njeno teto pobegnila pred sovjetsko okupacijo.
Končna prodaja teh nepremičnin v zgodnjih 2010-ih je leta 2014 financirala ustanovitev fundacije Susan in Isaac Wakil, organizacije, namenjene podpori široki paleti pobud, ki zajemajo izobraževanje, zdravstveno varstvo, umetnost in ohranjanje kulture.
Delo fundacije vključuje financiranje zdravstvenih in medicinskih raziskav na Univerzi v Sydneyju, bolnišnici St. Vincent in biomedicinskem pospeševalniku v Sydneyju.
Njihova začetna podpora cilju sklada v višini 1 milijona dolarjev in udeležba na slavnostni večerji je označila začetek dolgoletnega odnosa z umetniško galerijo NSW.
David Gonski, takratni predsednik umetniške galerije NSW Trust, je prejel klic Isaaca Wakila glede prizadevanj galerije za zbiranje 100 milijonov dolarjev za izgradnjo projekta Sydney Modern v vrednosti 344 milijonov dolarjev. Wakil je predlagal pomemben prispevek, ki je predlagal najmanj 20 milijonov dolarjev.
S tem prispevkom se je uresničil kulturni projekt v vrednosti 344 milijonov dolarjev, poleg tega pa je tudi trajno zaznamoval umetniško identiteto mesta.
Pokojnina Isaaca in Susan Wakil še naprej odmeva v umetniški galeriji NSW, kjer je v novoimenovanem krilu Naala Badu prikazan portret Susan Wakil, ki ga je posnel Tsering Hannaford. Ta prostor, ki vključuje paviljon Susan Wakil in galerijo Isaac Wakil, je dokaz njunega trajnosti.
Medtem ko mesto žaluje za človekom, ki je posvetil svoje življenje temu, da bi Sydney postal bolj radodaren in kulturno bogat kraj, je zgodba Wakilovih še vedno ena izredne velikodušnosti in preoblikovalnega vpliva.
