A Benedictine monk whose ceramics sell for more than $60,000 apiece is being memorialized through a new foundation in Boston. “The Newbury Street gallery that owns the largest collection of [Brother Thomas Bezanson’s] work – $15 million worth – is joining with the Boston Foundation, which distributes millions of dollars in grants each year, to use proceeds from the sale of his ceramics to create a fund that would support struggling artists in Boston.”
