Richard Serra American, 1939- Schunnemunk Fork, 1990-91 Weathering steel a. 8' x 49' 1" x 2-1/2" b. 8' x 35' 1" x 2-1/2" c. 8' x 38' 4" x 2-1/2" d. 8' x 54' 4" x 2-1/2" Named for a nearby mountain, this site-specific sculpture was commissioned by Storm King from one of today's foremost contemporary artists. Occupying a ten-acre field, the sculpture consists of four large rectangular plates, partially sunk into the earth so that only about two-thirds of their mass is visible; each plate marks an eight-foot drop in elevation. The sculpture highlights the undulating topography of the area and heightens our own awareness of the subtle changes in terrain at Storm King. |
