The Empire State Plaza Art Collection is one of the great modern art collections not housed in a gallery or museum. The 92 artworks are located in the underground Concourse, lining the main pathway connecting the various government buildings in this 98-acre public space. Some of the artists included are Paul Jerkins, Robert Motherwell, Adolph Gottlieb and Alexander Calder. Thanks to Governor Nelson Rockefeller's interest in patronizing the arts, this impressive public art collection was made possible.
