A Church’s Repository of Modern Art
By Linda Tancs
From the outside, Union Church of Pocantico Hills above Sleepy Hollow, New York, looks like a simple stone church. But step inside and be awed by Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse masterpieces, including Matisse’s last work of art. They were commissioned as memorials by members of the Rockefeller family. The non-denominational Protestant congregation was founded in 1915; its present building was constructed in 1922 on land donated by John D. Rockefeller, Sr. Visits are subject to congregational activities.
