Kykuit – The John D. Rockefeller Estate

I spent the morning at the Rockefeller Estate with an old family friend Richard Nathan and my mum. Apart from it being an absolutely beautiful day to walk around the amazing grounds, there were also some pretty nice works of art tucked away in the basement. On of which was recently brought back to the house from the UN and is a life size tapestry of Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica” which is one of my favorite paintings.

After the not optional guided tour we went to the Union Church of Pocantico Hills which houses a dozen Marc Chagall stained glass windows and Matisse’ final work before he died (seen below).
