No.: Credit Line: Kykuit, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Nelson A. Rockefeller bequest Photo credit: ph. gardenia.net © Artist : Sleepy Hollow, New York, Kykuit, John D. Rockefeller Estate www.hudsonvalley.org/historic-sites/kykuit Comment International Sculpture Center website, Kykuit gardens, August 18, 2015: Kykuit, completed in 1913 for John D. Rockefeller and home to four generations of the Rockefeller family, sits high above the eastern banks of the Hudson River over looking the Palisades. Within the gardens of Kykuit are two distinct collections of sculpture. The fountains, wellheads and classical figures - from ancient and Renaissance models or by American sculptors of the early 20th century - were assembled between 1906 and 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and landscape architect William Welles Bosworth. The terraces descending to the west and the formal geometric spaces defined by stone walls and box hedges are punctuated by the pergolas and fountains integral to Italian garden design. In 1963, Governor Nelson Rockefeller elaborated upon this tradition and brought to Kykuit works by Lachaise, Arp, Lipchitz, Marini and Giacometti, beginning the collection of modern sculpture that graces the park today. He continued to add pieces during his 16-year residence at Kykuit, taking great care in the precise siting of each. International in scope, this collection numbers more than 70 sculptures, and reflects many of the major trends of modern sculpture during the first three- quarters of the 20th-Century, including works by Maillol, Calder, Moore, Picasso, Noguchi, Meadmore, and Nadleman, among others.

  • Here We Are on the 200Th Anniversary of His Classic Story, Celebrating His Legacy of Artistic Inspiration and Achievement at the Nexus of the Tale Itself
    WELCOME 1ST ANNUAL SLEEPY HOLLOW INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Could Washington Irving have predicted the enduring impact “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” would have on the world when it was published in 1819? Perhaps not. And yet here we are on the 200th anniversary of his classic story, celebrating his legacy of artistic inspiration and achievement at the nexus of the tale itself. The Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic and literary-themed wonders—a one-of-a-kind combination of film premieres, exclusive screenings, live events, scripts in competition as well as special guests, panels and much more, all taking place in the historic Hudson Valley during its magical, and wildly popular, Halloween season. All of us with SHIFF are thrilled to welcome you to be part of history with this first-ever large-scale genre film festival in Westchester County, NY, in one of the most famous locations in the entire world. We extend a special thanks to the fine folk, governments and associations of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, the wondrous Tarrytown Music Hall and Warner Library, who proudly keep the spirit of Irving alive each and every day. So, for the next four days, revel in the inception of a new legend here in the Hollow. Enjoy, and let the bewitching begin! —The SHIFF Team Co-Founder/Director, Business Affairs DAVE NORRIS Advisory Board Lead Programmer DAN McKEON CHRIS POGGIALI FREDERICK K.
