Saint Louis Art Museum, 2011

The Saint Louis Art Museum is 1 of the principal U.S. fine art museums, with paintings, sculptures, cultural objects, and aboriginal masterpieces from all corners of the world. Its 3-story building stands in Wood Park in St. Louis, Missouri, where it is visited past upwards to a half million people every yr. Admission is complimentary through a subsidy from the cultural revenue enhancement district for St. Louis City and County.^[1]

In addition to the featured exhibitions, the museum offers rotating exhibitions and installations. These include the Currents series, which features contemporary artists, as well as regular exhibitions of new media fine art and works on newspaper.^[2]

History [edit]

The museum was founded in 1879^[3] equally the Saint Louis Schoolhouse and Museum of Fine Arts, an independent entity within Washington Academy in St. Louis.^[4] It was housed in a building commissioned by Wayman Crow as a memorial to his son, Wayman Crow Jr., and designed by Boston architects Peabody and Stearns for 19th and Lucas Place (now Locust Street). The school, led by director Halsey Ives, educated two generations of St. Louis artists and craftspeople, and offered studio and art history classes supported by a museum drove.

After the closing of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the museum and schoolhouse moved from downtown to one of the few permanent remnants of the fair, the Palace of Fine Arts. The building was designed by Cass Gilbert, who took inspiration from the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy.^[5]

Ives introduced a bill into the General Assembly for an art taxation to support the maintenance of the museum.^[6] The pecker was approved by the citizens of Saint Louis by a nearly 4-to-1 margin. All the same, the urban center's controller refused to distribute the tax to the museum'southward board of control, as it was non a municipal entity and and so had no correct to tax coin. The controller's position was upheld in 1908 past the Missouri Supreme Court. This caused the formal separation of the museum from the university in 1909, a split which was the kickoff of three borough institutions:

a newly created, public City Art Museum, to remain in the Palace of Fine Arts, the organization which evolved into the Saint Louis Art Museum;^[seven] an organizing lath was assigned to take control in 1912.^[8]
the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum affiliated with the individual Washington University, whose collection was lent to the City Art Museum for several years,^[9] and now function of the Sam Play a trick on School of Design & Visual Arts
the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, also part of Washington Academy. In 1905 Ives had been immediately succeeded as manager past Edmund H. Wuerpel; as of September 1909 Wuerpel advertised classes at Skinker and Lindell.^[x] Wuerpel remained director until his retirement in 1939.^[11] The school is now also part of the Sam Fox School of Pattern & Visual Arts.

The building at 19th and Lucas Place savage into disrepair, and was eventually demolished in 1919.^[12]

During the 1950s, the museum added an extension to include an auditorium for films, concerts and lectures.

In 1971, efforts to secure the museum'due south financial hereafter led voters in St. Louis City and Canton to approve the creation of the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District (ZMD). This expanded the tax base for the 1908 tax to include St. Louis County.^[13] In 1972, the museum was again renamed, to the Saint Louis Art Museum.^[13]

Today, the museum is supported financially by the tax, donations from individuals and public associations, sales in the Museum Store, and foundation support.^[fourteen]

Expansion [edit]

Plans to expand the museum, which existed in the 1995 Wood Park Master Plan and the museum'southward 2000 Strategic Plan, began in hostage in 2005, when the museum board selected the British builder Sir David Chipperfield to design the expansion; Michel Desvigne was selected equally landscape architect. The St. Louis-based business firm, Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum (HOK) was the builder of record to work with the construction team.

On November 5, 2007, museum officials released the design plans to the public and hosted public conversations about those plans. A model of the new edifice was displayed in the museum'south Sculpture Hall throughout the structure project. In 2008, citing the declining state of the economy, the museum announced that it would filibuster the start of the expansion, whose cost was and so estimated at $125 million.^[15]

Construction began in 2009; the museum remained open.^[16] ^[17] The expansion added more than 224,000 square feet (20,800 thousand²) of gallery space, including an underground garage, within the lease lines of the property. Coin for the project was raised through individual gifts to the capital campaign from individuals, foundations and corporations, and from proceeds from the sale of taxation-exempt bonds. The fundraising campaigned covered the $130-million cost of construction and a $31.2 million increase to the museum's endowment to support incremental costs of operating the larger facility. The expanded facility opened in the summer of 2013.

Drove [edit]

The drove of the Saint Louis Art Museum contains more than than 34,000 objects dating from antiquity to the present. The collection is divided into nine areas:

American
Aboriginal and Egyptian
Africa, Oceania, Americas
Asian
Decorative Arts and Blueprint
European to 1800
Islamic
Modernistic and Contemporary
Prints, Drawings, and Photographs

The modern art collection includes works past the European masters Matisse, Gauguin, Monet, Picasso, Corrado Giaquinto, Giambattista Pittoni and Van Gogh. The museum's particularly potent collection of 20th-century High german paintings includes the earth's largest Max Beckmann collection, which includes Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery.^[18] In contempo years, the museum has been actively acquiring mail-war German language art to complement its Beckmanns, such as works by Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Martin Kippenberger, Sigmar Polke, and Anselm Kiefer.^[sixteen] The collection besides includes Chuck Close's Keith (1970).^[19]

The collections of Oceanic and Mesoamerican works, as well as handwoven Turkish rugs, are among the finest in the world. The museum holds the Egyptian mummy Amen-Nestawy-Nakht, and two mummies on loan from Washington University.^[twenty] Its collection of American artists includes the largest U.S.-museum collection of paintings by George Caleb Bingham.^{[ citation needed ]}

The collection contains at least six pieces that Nazis confiscated from their own museums as degenerate.^[21] These include Max Beckmann's "Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" which came to the museum through a New York fine art dealer, Brusk Valentin, who specialized in Nazi confiscations, and Matisse's "Bathers with a Turtle" which Joseph Pulitzer purchased at the Galerie Fischer auction held in the 1000 Hôtel National, Lucerne, Switzerland, June 30, 1939.^[21] ^[22] ^[23]

In the context of the museum'south 2013 expansion, British artist Andy Goldsworthy created Stone Sea, a site-specific work for a narrow space between the old and new buildings. Twenty-five tightly packed, ten-foot-high arches fabricated of native limestone rise in a sunken courtyard. The artist was inspired by the fact that the sedimentary rock was formed when the region was a shallow sea in Prehistoric times.^[xvi]

In 2021, the museum received a promised gift of 22 paintings and sculptures from the collection of the American curator and philanthropist Emily Rauh Pulitzer, the widow of the media heir Joseph Pulitzer Jr. The donation includes works past 17 European and American artists, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Constantin Brâncuși, Joan Miró, Philip Guston, Ellsworth Kelly and others.^[24]
