With loans from public and private collections — including a number of sculptures from Storm King’s own celebrated installation of the artist’s work — as well as several new works that have never been on public view, it is a centerpiece of the Island’s 2011 season. The exhibition is free and is open every day that the Island is open to the public. A full list of the 2011 schedule for the Island will be posted in the next week and opening day is just three weeks from today!
