Modern Love

Discover the Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio in Lenox, a rare modernist treasure showcasing art, architecture, and design of the 20th century.

The world of trailblazing abstract artists George L.K. Morris and Suzy Frelinghuysen is a living time capsule of modern art, architecture, and design, right here in the Berkshires. Their Lenox studio and home were built in the 1930s and ’40s on a portion of Morris’ parents’ estate, Brookhurst—when costs ran over on the house, Morris sold a Picasso he had purchased in Europe to Peggy Guggenheim for $4,500. He had amassed quite a collection, and visitors today can see works not only by Morris and Frelinghuysen but also Picasso, Braque, and Léger—a rare chance to experience modernism up close.

Open weekends through mid October; reopens in June
