Boston College parents Kimberly and Steven Rockefeller — who is the grandson of the late Nelson Rockefeller — made a special presentation of artwork to the University last month as they joined their son in celebrating the end of his BC undergraduate years.
The couple presented Boston College with an Albrecht Dürer etching in honor of their two sons, which was received by McMullen Museum of Art Director Nancy Netzer. Titled “The Nativity,” the work by Dürer — considered the greatest German artist — is from the personal collection of the late Nelson Rockefeller, who served as governor of New York and vice president of the US.
The Rockefellers were on hand to attend the Dec. 12 mid-year Baccalaureate Mass and reception for students who completed undergraduate degree requirements, including their son Christian ’14, who graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences. Also attending the event — held this year in conjunction with BC’s Sesquicentennial Mass to conclude the University’s anniversary celebration — were the couple’s two other children, Steven III ’09 and Kayla, as well as Christian’s grandmother.
