$30,000 to catalogue, preserve, and document the painter’s work, overseen by Co-Trustees Peggy Gillespie and Robin Freedenfeld. Gillespie did not participate in the New York art scene but lived and worked in both Italy and the countryside of Massachusetts. Not associated with any particular school or movement, Gillespie created enigmatic portraits, landscapes, and still lifes that were painted with a deep conviction and attention to detail.
