Founded in 1960, the
Storm King Art Center was originally a gift from the Ralph E Ogden Foundation, Inc. Along with H Peter Stern, co-owner of Star Enterprises (metal manufacturer), Ogden made additional donations of land, including acreage of Schunnemunk Mountain (now a New York State Park) to protect the "viewshed" of the art center. Unimpeded views, but still surrounded by traffic noise of highways.
