Grounds for Sculpture Hamilton NJ

In April 2003 we toured Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ outside of Trenton. http://www.groundsforsculpture.org/ They were having a Chihuly show which was excellent. http://www.groundsforsculpture.org/museum.htm

We didn't have time to identify all the sculptures I took photos of. It was a very cold day, and we moved rapidly through the beautiful grounds.

Thanks SO MUCH for sharing all these wonderful pix with us! I took a Smithsonian tour, several years ago, to Seattle to visit Dale Chihuly's boathouse and other "places", I didn't know, he has the world's largest collection of Pendleton blankets!!

Just wanted to add that my brother has been doing this all his life. It is nice to read that his work is appreciated! It is truly a wonder to watch any artist create their art. Good Sculpting

Love Frederick Morante's sculptures !
What a delight to see his art on the web! I wish I could visit the place more often - it is so inspiring; really hope to be back soon - specially for Fred's fantastic pieces!

It's nice to see people appreciating my work. If you want to see more in my studio, contact me via email. I live very near the Grounds for Sculpture.

One of NJ's must see! Very relaxing place at a slow pace.

Thanks! Have placed this on my must-see list the next time I am back in the area. Seeing Dejeuner sur l'herbe as sculpture is rather mind blowing. Not quite sure how Manet would react to it!
