Spaightwood Galleries was founded in 1980 in Madison Wisconsin by Andy Weiner and Sonja Hansard-Weiner and moved in November 2004 into our beautiful new site in Upton Massachusetts (we are about forty-five minutes west of Boston via the Mass Pike; take the I-495 South Exit, then exit at Exit 21-B Upton; go 5.1 miles directly to the gallery in the former Upton Unitarian Church on the corner of Highway 140 and Maple Ave. Now almost thirty years later we have an inventory of over 9,000 works, most on paper, ranging from the late fifteenth century to the present. In the days to come we will continue to add pages (currently we have over 700) and illustrations (currently about 5000) to this site, but the best way to find out what we have will be to E-mail us ([email protected]) or call us for more information (one of the reasons I retired after 35 years at the University of Wisconsin as a Professor of English and an Affiliated Professor of Law was to get caught up; one of the reasons Sonja retired after 28 years at Madison Area Technical College was to make sure I do). For those who find indexing by show a bit cumbersome to negotiate, we offer a start at a more comprehensive alphabetical listing, divided into artists born before 1800 and those born after. As usual, the presence of a link means you can click through to the image(s) or page(s); the absence of a link indicates that we have not yet photographed the work(s) of that artist in our inventory, but we would be happy to do so on request as time permits.

Spaightwood Galleries presents two or three shows a year. Most of our shows feature works by artists of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, though we also have about 2000 old master prints and drawings in our inventory. In any given year, about 500 works of art appear on our walls.
