Man of Steel

“David Stromeyer’s canvas is an old dairy farm in northern Vermont. But he doesn’t paint. He builds. His artistic tools are cranes, a welding torch and other heavy equipment. He bends steel to his will, or at least as far as is humanly possible,” according to a new feature in The Boston Globe about Cold Hollow Sculpture Park, where Stromeyer has erected rougly 70 pieces across 45 acres of meadows. 

The story continues: “Stromeyer, 77, bought the farm in 1970. For the first 40 years or so, it was a place where a trickle of visitors were mostly serious collectors or professionals in the art world. But in the last 10 years, after Stromeyer and his wife Sarah decided to open it up, free of charge, to the public, it has become a destination for many others.”
