Storm King Announces Acquisition of Major Work by Arnaldo Pomodoro

MOUNTAINVILLE, NY.- Storm King Art Center today announced the acquisition of The Pietrarubbia Group: il fondamento, l’uso, il rapporto (1975–76), a major large-scale work by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro. The sculpture is a gift of longtime Storm King supporter Herbert Kayden, M.D., offered in memory of his late wife, Gabrielle Reem, M.D. Installation of the work, including landscaping of the surrounding area, will take place over the next few weeks. Storm King President John P. Stern states, “In making this generous and meaningful gift, Herb Kayden has not only added a significant outdoor sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro to Storm King’s collection, but also enhanced the collection’s representation of international sculpture. The Pietrarubbia Group was exhibited at Storm King shortly after it was created, and we are thrilled that it has returned to be viewed by our visitors for years to come.”
