Peter Stern, and named after Storm King Mountain several miles east of its location in Cornwall, New York, Storm King’s creative grounds span over 500 acres, and is open to the public until November 30.

Ottaway Jr. is the Chair of Storm King. Through the professional direction of these key members, Storm King has successfully showcased numerous artworks over the past 50 years, and has, for the past six years, celebrated these efforts by a live auction gala.
