Blog # 20: Poughkeepsie, NY:
Storm King Art Center
Gorgeous Fall Colors Are Appearing
Autumn Is Definitely Here: Mornings Are Brisk - High 30's to 40's
Crossing Over The Rip Van Wrinkle Bridge
Sleepy Hollow Is Near By
Storm King Art Center Is A Wide Open Area -
500 Acres Of Mixed Terrain.
The Outdoor Experience Is Unlike What We Might Feel When Visiting Inside A City Museum
The Art Objects Are Sculptures Of Mixed Sizes, Shapes, Etc.
They Are Scattered About The Area. We Used A Tram To Get Around The Park Because Of The Vastness Of The Park
Many Art Pieces Are Large And Certainly Heavy - Requiring Trucks And Cranes To Install
And Yet, There Are Some Pieces Weighing Little And Offering A Totally Different Feeling And/or Experience
Sometimes "Color" Comes Into Play
There Is Beauty Everywhere - Natural And...
Man Made
A Casual Stroll (With Few People Around) Is Relaxing, Not Stressful And Totally A Different Experience
A Walk Through The Woods Is Inviting.
Better To Stay On The Road Than Get Lost
Although Each Heavy Piece Is Solid, Still The Design Offers Opportunities To "Look Through" The Creation Which Provides A Feeling of "Lightness!"
Designed By Calder: There Is A "Grace" To This Design Even Though It Weighs "A Ton!"
Pick-up Sticks? Teepee? Or?
Robot? Man? Or?
Above: Entitled - "Open House"
Following Photos: No Need To Comment - Just Enjoy!
Some Of These Pieces Are As Tall As Several Bus's Standing Lengthwise On Top of Each other
The Arms of This Piece Move Around Each Other

An On-site Museum Displays Smaller Pieces
It's Fabricated Using Nickels
Kennedy Half-Dollars Are Used For This Couch!
Jerry Found This Sign In The Gift Shop: Quite Clever! Has Anyone Noticed "Art" Inside The Word, "Earth?"
We Had a Great Day "Seeing," "Learning" And "Enjoying!"
