In late June, Helena guided a group hosted by the Ridgefield Historical Society on a bus tour of her tapestries on display in buildings throughout New York City. The tour included a visit to Helena’s Summer tapestry (2006) at One Central Park; her Beech Tree tapestries (1991, 1992) at 450 Lexington Avenue; and her Flowers tapestry (2018) at 35 Hudson Yards. The group also visited the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, where Helena and her late husband both have work included in the current exhibition, Acquired! Shaping the National Design Collection, on view through September 2, 2024.
