History
editThe museum's origins date to 1879,[3]when theSaint Louis School and Museum of Fine Artswas founded as part of Washington University.[4]The nascent museum was housed in a buildingWayman Crowcommissioned of Boston architectsPeabody and Stearnsas a memorial to his son, Wayman Crow Jr. The structure was located at 19th and Lucas Place (now Locust Street). The school, led by directorHalsey Ives,offered studio and art history instruction supported by a museum collection.
When the 1904Louisiana Purchase Expositionclosed, the museum and school moved from the Peabody-Stearns structure toCass Gilbert's Palace of Fine Arts building. The building at 19th and Lucas Place rapidly fell into disrepair, and was eventually demolished in 1919.[5]
After the relocation, Director Ives introduced a bill into the General Assembly for an art tax to support museum maintenance.[6]The citizens of Saint Louis approved the bill by a nearly 4-to-1 margin; however, the city's controller refused to distribute the tax as the museum was not recognized as a municipal entity and thus had no right to tax money. TheMissouri Supreme Courtupheld this decision in 1908. This caused the formal separation of the museum from the university in 1909, a split which was the beginning of three civic 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;[7]an organizing board was assigned to take control in 1912.[8]
- theMildred Lane Kemper Art Museumaffiliated with the private Washington University, whose collection was lent to the City Art Museum for several years,[9]and now part of theSam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts
- the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, also part of Washington University. In 1905 Ives had been immediately succeeded as director byEdmund H. Wuerpel;as of September 1909 Wuerpel advertised classes at Skinker and Lindell.[10]Wuerpel remained director until his retirement in 1939.[11]The school is now also part of theSam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.
During the 1950s, the museum added an extension to include anauditoriumfor films, concerts, and lectures. DirectorCharles Guggenheim'sAn American Museum(1959)debuted in the new auditorium space as a 50th anniversary event.[12]
In 1971, efforts to secure the museum's financial future led voters in St. Louis City and County to approve the creation of theMetropolitan 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 Shop, and foundation support.[14]
Expansion
editPlans to expand the museum, which existed in the 1995Forest ParkMaster Plan and the museum's 2000 Strategic Plan, began in earnest in 2005, when the museum board selected the British architect SirDavid Chipperfieldto design the expansion; Michel Desvigne was selected aslandscape architect.The St. Louis-based firm,Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum(HOK) was the architect 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 building was displayed in the museum's Sculpture Hall throughout the construction project. In 2008, citing the declining state of the economy, the museum announced that it would delay the start of the expansion, whose cost was then 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 m2) of gallery space, including an underground garage, within the lease lines of the property. Money for the project was raised through private gifts to the capital campaign from individuals, foundations and corporations, and from proceeds from the sale of tax-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.
Collection
editThe collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum contains more than 34,000 objects dating from antiquity to the present. The collection is divided into nine areas:
- American
- AncientandEgyptian
- Africa,Oceania,Americas
- Asian
- Decorative Artsand Design
- Europeanto 1800
- Islamic
- ModernandContemporary
- Prints,Drawings,andPhotographs
The modern art collection includes works by the European mastersMatisse,Gauguin,Monet,Picasso,Corrado Giaquinto,Giambattista PittoniandVan Gogh.The museum's particularly strong collection of 20th-century German paintings includes the world's largestMax Beckmanncollection, which includesChrist and the Woman Taken in Adultery.[18]In recent years, the museum has been actively acquiring post-war German art to complement its Beckmanns, such as works byJoseph Beuys,Gerhard Richter,Martin Kippenberger,Sigmar Polke,andAnselm Kiefer.[16]The collection also includesChuck Close'sKeith(1970).[19]
The collections ofOceanicandMesoamericanworks, as well as handwovenTurkishrugs,are among the finest in the world. The museum holds theEgyptianmummyAmen-Nestawy-Nakht,and two mummies on loan from Washington University, Padi-menekh andHenut-wedjebu.[20][21]Its collection of American artists includes the largest U.S.-museum collection of paintings byGeorge Caleb Bingham.[22]
The collection contains at least six pieces that Nazis confiscated from their own museums as degenerate.[23]These includeMax Beckmann's "Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" which came to the museum through a New York art dealer,Curt Valentin,who specialized inNazi confiscations,and Matisse's "Bathers with a Turtle" whichJoseph Pulitzerpurchased at theGalerie Fischer auctionheld in the Grand Hôtel National, Lucerne, Switzerland, June 30, 1939.[23][24][25]
In the context of the museum's 2013 expansion, British artistAndy GoldsworthycreatedStone Sea,a site-specific work for a narrow space between the old and new buildings. Twenty-five tightly packed, ten-foot-high arches made 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.[16]
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 heirJoseph Pulitzer Jr.The donation includes works by 17 European and American artists, includingPablo Picasso,Georges Braque,Constantin Brâncuși,Joan Miró,Philip Guston,Ellsworth Kellyand others.[26]
