Autumn in the BerkshiresIt’s hard to believe it, but autumn is almost here. Our busy summer season seemed to go by even more rapidly than usual this year, and we are beginning to see the first signs of fall. October is the perfect month to visit the Bekshires and take in the extraordinary beauty of the fall colors. We hope to see many of you in Stockbridge over the next several weeks and wish you and your families a healthy and enjoyable fall season. We also look forward to greeting many of you at SOFA-Chicago, November 10-12, where we will be presenting a major exhibition of new and classic works by Lino Tagliapietra.

Quote of the Month
“Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.” – Paul Klee
