Pleasant Diversion for a Winter Afternoon

In the spring of 2017, the Thomas Cole House mounted an exhibition of the work of a Hudson River School artist with close ties to Hudson: Sanford Robinson Gifford. The exhibition, Sanford R. Gifford in the Catskills, was curated by Kevin Avery, senior research scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In conjunction with the exhibition, Avery presented a lecture on the life and work of Sanford Gifford. A recording of that lecture can be viewed on YouTube, by clicking here.
