Just an hour and a half drive from Manhattan, set in 500 acres of the Hudson Valley is the lovely Storm King Art Center.
More than 100 sculptures and installations are sited across fields, hills and woodlands including, among dozens of others, Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, David Smith, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Goldsworthy's STORM KING WALL, built 1997-98, the reason for my trip.
Walk meadows, climb museum hill, picnic on Johnny Swing's NICKEL COUCH, marvel though Maya Lin's STORM KING WAVEFIELD, as you breathe sky, sing green, wave a piece of sleep where you watched your grandmother cook, and taste the colour of the remembrance of your own dream. I've been waiting years to get there.
Yes, there are lots of photos, more than usual, but it's a HUGE place.
