non-profit arena, especially in the
areas of environment, philanthropy,
arts, and public education. Mr.
Rockefeller is a trustee of The Museum
of Modern Art, the Asian Cultural
Council, and a fellow of the American

Since the last Jazz Interlude held in

MoMA, including Jazz Score (2008),
Martin Puryear (2007), and Comic
Abstraction: Image Breaking,
Image-Making (2007) and helped acquire
David Hammons, Untitled (Rock Head) for
the Museum's permanent collection. The
group has also provided contributions to
the Exhibition Fund in honor of Peter
