FAMILY COLLECTION

“The Departure of Fruits and Vegetables from the Heart of Paris” 1969, Raymond
Mason, Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection
Thank You
to William Louis-Dreyfus
We are immensely grateful to William Louis-Dreyfus for sharing his
extraordinary art collection with us this afternoon, and for recognizing the importance of the Bedford 2020 mission to create a sustainable community for generations to come.
When asked about the work Bedford 2020 is doing, Bedford resident, Louis-Dreyfus responded, “Bedford 2020 is a valiant effort, in
effect, to save the world. The fact that our air and water are at risk
is all the information you should need to react. Any local effort is
important. If there is a chance it will have an impact, it is worth doing. It would be great if there were a ground swell and other communities started what Bedford 2020 is doing.”
We would also like to extend a special thanks to Mary Anne
Costello and Christina Kee at the Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection for
their help and their generous commitment of time to this event.

quality, improve waste/recycling practices, support local food and
agriculture, plant trees, protect open space, create school gardens,
