The Elizabeth Goldring Piene and Otto Piene Foundation in Groton, Massachusetts maintains an intact, beautiful, traditional piece of agriculture and natural property in the service of the arts, the greater environment, and New England’s educational and academic world.

“The artist always has had a very strong role in making the connection between the metaphysical world of the stars . . . and the physical world, the earthly world, the factual roots with which we live when we walk on the asphalt,” [Piene] told the Globe in 1985. “This is just continuing the tradition that the artist has always lived for: placing markers in that everyday world in which we live.”

- “Otto Piene, at 86; created art installations that reached into the sky” by Michael J. Bailey, The Boston Globe, July 21, 2014

The Foundation is dedicated to art as a living link between thought and matter, between the cerebral and the physical, at once spiritual and sensual whether in painting, media, or public celebrations.
