Storm King Morning

Storm King is acres of meadows,woods, treed alleys, ponds and SCULPTURE. The land has been groomed to provide excellent vistas of tons (literally) of monumental sculpture. Mown trails guide you through the meadows where wildflowers and butterflies abound. 

Sculpture is meant to be seen from all sides and I enjoy being surprised by the way each piece changes as I approach it. One sculpture, appeared as a tight ball from one side, but expanded into a long series of interlocking shapes as we drew near.

Other favorites were the mirrored fence by Alyson Shotz, the orange zigzag by Alexander Lieberman, Andy Goldsworthy’s serpentine wall, Maya Lin’s waves of grass, and the field of Mark de Suvero sculptures. It’s impossible to see it all in a few hours, but you have a better chance if you pack snacks, bring lots of water, and possibly rent a bike.
