Carl Milles, Icarus at Millesgarden

Carl and Olga Milles together designed and constructed Millesgarden, a sculpture garden on the property of their home in Stockholm. Carl Milles was a classically trained sculptor, learning the trade as an apprentice in Aguste Rodin's studio in Paris. 

The Millesgarden was meant to be a place for him to display his sculptures. But, the garden itself is a craftwork. Each stone was individually laid by him and his family. And, as the garden grew in size and scope it became an environment; itself a work of art. In the Millesgarden is a small stone chapel where Carl and Olga are buried.

Storm King Wall, Andy Goldsworthy (1998)

Andy Goldsworthy is among the most admired artists of our time. What artist has not stacked stones on a beach? Goldsworthy is the king of this. 

Noted for his stone arches and constructions, he has installed one of his largest works at Storm King Arts Center in New York. Goldsworthy is considered an environmental artist. His works are made of materials at hand and native to their site. The Storm King Wall meanders through a grove of trees, passes beneath a pond, and extends across a plain. The line of the wall responds to its surroundings, curving amongst the trees, gathering height amongst mature trees, diving beneath the pond, and straightening across the flat plain.

Wave Field - Maya Lin - Storm King - 2008

Storm King is a sculpture park in the Hudson Valley near NYC. It's pastoral landscape is the perfect setting for one of Maya Lin's Wave Fields. These giant earthworks represent a tempest at rest ... or a frozen moment in our ever ebbing and flowing world. The Storm King Wave Field is also an elemental design; a discussion of earth, wind, water, and heat. Walking between them encourages introspection; a realization of the mass of water and the heaving power of waves. Walking along their crest, one has the sense of freedom, of flight, control, and balance.
