Recently, I had the privilege to be at a two day meeting held at Kykuit, a National Trust site that was built about 100 years ago as the residence of Nelson D. Rockefeller just north of NYC. The estate is on 120 acres overlooking the Hudson River. In the spectacular gardens are 120 sculptures, many modern masterpieces from the likes of Calder, Giacometti, Moore, Picasso, Brancusi and others. These shots were taken with my cell phone on morning walks before breakfast... Interesting to see how the spoils of one of the original Robber Barons of modern capitalism were spent... The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (who have been doing good penance with their philanthropy) now has a conference center on site to host meetings. estate is on 120 acres overlooking the Hudson River.
