"Dear Friends,
I'm excited to share with you an important new change in the way Holsten Galleries will be doing business from here on. After 31 years of operating my Stockbridge gallery, I have decided to expand the gallery website, www.holstengalleries.com, to become the world's premier virtual glass art gallery. From now on, I will be operating Holsten Galleries as an online gallery from my office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, serving both as a private art dealer and consultant.
My virtual gallery, www.holstengalleries.com, will continue to specialize in the works of leading glass artists including Dale Chihuly, Jon Kuhn, Lino Tagliapietra, William Morris and many others. I anticipate that this new direction for Holsten Galleries will allow me more time to work closely with collectors.
I am also pleased to announce that the new owners of the Stockbridge gallery are my longtime friends and colleagues Jim Schantz and his wife Kim Saul. In Jim's 27 years with the gallery, I have always found him to be a consummate professional, bringing deep knowledge of the work and artists, personal integrity and caring service to all. Kim has done outstanding work as the gallery's graphic designer and brings many gifts to her new role as co-owner. Jim and Kim will be in touch with you soon to share their plans. They have renamed the Stockbridge gallery Schantz Galleries.
While the two galleries will function independently, Holsten and Schantz look forward to co-presenting an exhibition of all-new works by Maestro Lino Tagliapietra at SOFA-Chicago, November 5-8.
I want to thank every one of you for your friendship and patronage over our many years of working together. I am grateful for the many wonderful relationships which have formed since Holsten Galleries first opened our doors in Stockbridge back in 1978. I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
Warmest regards,
Kenn Holsten
Santa Fe, New Mexico"
