About one hundred miles from New York City, tucked into a
pocket of the Catskills near Saugerties, lies one of the most
extraordinary pieces of sculpture ever created by a single man.
The work is an immense composition of finely fitted stone,
rising in ramps and swirling terraces around pools and trees and
fountains out of the rock bed of an abandoned bluestone quarry. It
spreads out over more than six acres.
It is the product of
more than thirty-seven years of a man's life. His name was
Harvey Fite. He worked alone, using
his hands and traditional quarryman's tools, to build his
masterpiece: Opus 40.
Today, Opus 40 is
maintained by a not-for-profit corporation, which is responsible
for its maintenance, for opening to the public, and for presenting
arts programs.
