This Labor Day we visited the Storm King Art Center during a beautiful sunny afternoon. Our group moved pretty quickly through the site so I tried doing 3-4 second sketches of each work we came across to varying degrees of success. Hopefully, over time, I can get better at representing 1 second attempts of a place - exceptionally hard by any standard but worth working toward a goal.
Here’s a list of the work represented, in order:
Mark di Suvero b. 1933 Mon Pere, Mon Pere 1973-75, Pyramidian, 1987-98, and E=MC^2 1996-97
Magdalena Abakanowicz b. 1930-2017 Sarcophagi in Glass Houses 1989
Ronald Bladen b. 1918-1988 Untitled (Three Elements), 1965 (Fabricated 1966-67). The Burnished and painted aluminum had an almost ethereal quality to it.
Maya Lin b. 1959 Storm King Wavefield 2007-08
Richard Serra b. 1939 Schunnemunk Fork 1990-91. My favorite piece there due to its ability to be immaterial, three dimensional, and textured all at different moments
Andy Goldsworthy b. 1956 Storm King Wall 1997-98 “The work was built, in some parts, stone-by-stone upon the remnants of an old farm wall that Goldsworthy found in the woods overlooking Moodna Creek, at Storm King’s eastern boundary…The British team of wallers built the wall by placing one stone on top of another while chipping and shaping each one to fit snugly; no concrete was used in stacking the wall’s 1,579 tons of fieldstone.”
Kenneth Snelson b 1927 Free Ride Home 1974. Or as our friend called it, “a nightmare camping tent”
Menashe Kadishman b. 1932 Suspended 1977
Robert Grosveror b. 1937 Untitled 1970 “we thought it was a bridge :( “
