year, with a few emerald-green, lead-glazed pieces from China’s Eastern
Han period (AD 25–220).
Mrs. Goldman’s interest in American historical documents stemmed
from that of her husband, New York real estate developer S. Howard
Goldman (1929–1997) who amassed a formidable collection of
important printed Americana from the Revolutionary era through the
framing of the Constitution, all of which he sold in 1995 except for the
rare copy of the U.S. Constitution, which he gave to his wife, and which
became the foundation of the distinguished collection of American
printed foundational documents that she herself assembled. Mrs.
Goldman’s copy of the U.S. Constitution sold in a special evening sale
at Sotheby’s, New York, on 18 November 2021 (as Lot 1787, the date of
that copy).
Mrs. Goldman contributed the proceeds from sale to the Dorothy
Tapper Goldman Foundation, of which she was president. The
foundation, which supports research and education, has made
substantial contributions to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial
Foundation and, since 2007, has funded an annual Guggenheim
Fellowship in Constitutional Studies; in fact, her generosity made
possible the appointment of seventeen Constitutional Studies Fellows
between 2008 and 2023. The foundation has also made generous
grants to The New York Historical Society, including a grant of $10
million to train teachers in educating students about democracy, the
society noting that Mrs. Goldman’s interest in the Constitution had
been rooted in her background in teaching and perpetuated by the
Constitution’s inclusive “We the People”, the opening words of its
preamble. Following her late husband’s lead, Mrs. Goldman joined the
board of The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society, serving as its Vice
President and becoming friends over the years with former Supreme
Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.

A staunch advocate for the arts, Mrs. Goldman was active with the
Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC), where she
championed the inclusion of Native American art in both exhibitions
and permanent-collection acquisitions. A bibliophile and a supporter
of the Grolier Club (of New York) and of The Manuscript Society (of
Overland Park, KS), Mrs. Goldman, as chair of the library advisory
board of the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), New York, took a
deep interest in the seminary’s library and its extensive collection
