A transparent record of the institutional histories, family knowledge, archival collections, catalogues, exhibition records, and photographs behind this site.
Family editorial note
Inside the story, accountable to the record.
This family-created and family-endorsed celebration was made by Harvey Fite’s great-grandson. Family knowledge provides essential context; dates, artwork details, construction claims, and public history remain tied to identifiable records wherever possible.
Opus40.org remains the institutional source for current visiting information, preservation work, and events.
Historical research
Core sources.

Photography and artwork images
Image credits.
Every sculpture and archive lightbox includes its most specific published record.
Accuracy standard
Known, sourced, and clearly limited.
The site does not invent missing titles, dates, dimensions, locations, or provenance.
When historical sources differ, the site favors the official Opus 40 chronology, Bard records, National Register documentation, or the most specific published object record—and avoids presenting uncertainty as fact.
Archival image rights can differ from copyright in the underlying artwork. Reproduction permissions should be confirmed with the relevant archive or rights holder before major commercial reuse.
