Last Thursday Ginny and I visited Kykuit, the spectacular, art-stuffed Rockefeller residence in Pocantico Hills. High on a hill above the Hudson–Kykuit is a Dutch name for lookout–the 1913 house is an amazing combination of Gilded Age splendor muted by the Baptist reticence of its first builder and resident John D. Rockefeller, then adorned first with examples of Chinese enamel adored by John D. Jr., and then later 
with a couple hundred masterpieces of modern art beloved by subsequent occupants Abby and Nelson Rockefeller, including pieces by Moore, Calder, Picasso, Chagall, Brâncuși, Giacometti, Lachaise, Nevelson, Noguchi and Warhol. Also saw Nelson’s secret TV set and VP china. It was pretty fab–exhausting, but awesome.
