When the 1904 [[Louisiana Purchase Exposition]] closed, the museum and school moved from the Peabody-Stearns structure to [[Cass Gilbert]]'s Palace of Fine Arts building. The building at 19th and Lucas Place rapidly fell into disrepair, and was eventually demolished in 1919.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cio.slpl.org/2016/03/31/the-st-louis-school-and-museum-of-fine-arts-wellspring-of-st-louis-arts/|title=The St. Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts – Wellspring of St. Louis Arts|last=St. Louis Public Library|website=St. Louis Public Library|access-date=September 30, 2016}}</ref>

After the relocation, Director Ives introduced a bill into the General Assembly for an art tax to support museum maintenance.<ref>Stevens, Walter B.

The [[Missouri Supreme Court]] upheld 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:

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 collection.

After the closing of the 1904 [[Louisiana Purchase Exposition]], the museum and school 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.<ref name="Arch">''Saint Louis Art Museum, An Architectural History'' (1987), p. 8</ref>

In 1971, efforts to secure the museum's financial future led voters in St. Louis City and County to approve the creation of the [[Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District]] (ZMD).

In the context of the museum's 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 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.<ref name="theartnewspaper.com"/>

The Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) is one of the principal U.S. art museums, with paintings, sculptures, cultural objects, and ancient masterpieces from all corners of the world. Its three-story building stands in Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri, where it is visited by up to a half million people every year. Admission is free through a subsidy from the cultural tax 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 art and works on paper.[2]

History

1879 Peabody and Stearns building (razed 1919)
Main article: St. Louis School of Fine Arts

The museum's origins date to 1879,[3] when the Saint Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts was founded as part of Washington University.[4] The nascent museum was housed in a building Wayman Crow commissioned of Boston architects Peabody and Stearns as a memorial to his son, Wayman Crow Jr. The structure was located at 19th and Lucas Place (now Locust Street). The school, led by director Halsey Ives, offered studio and art history instruction supported by a museum collection.

When the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition closed, the museum and school moved from the Peabody-Stearns structure to Cass 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. The Missouri Supreme Court upheld 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]
  • the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum affiliated with the private Washington University, whose collection was lent to the City Art Museum for several years,[9] and now part of the Sam 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 by Edmund 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 the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.

During the 1950s, the museum added an extension to include an auditorium for films, concerts, and lectures. Director Charles Guggenheim's An 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 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 Shop, and foundation support.[14]

Expansion

The statue Apotheosis of St. Louis by Charles Henry Niehaus, created in 1903

Plans to expand the museum, which existed in the 1995 Forest Park Master Plan and the museum's 2000 Strategic Plan, began in earnest in 2005, when the museum board selected the British architect Sir David Chipperfield to design the expansion; Michel Desvigne was selected as landscape 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

The 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:

  1. American
  2. Ancient and Egyptian
  3. Africa, Oceania, Americas
  4. Asian
  5. Decorative Arts and Design
  6. European to 1800
  7. Islamic
  8. Modern and Contemporary
  9. Prints, Drawings, and Photographs

The modern art collection includes works by the European masters Matisse, Gauguin, Monet, Picasso, Corrado Giaquinto, Giambattista Pittoni and Van Gogh. The museum's particularly strong collection of 20th-century German paintings includes the world's largest Max Beckmann collection, which includes Christ 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 by Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Martin Kippenberger, Sigmar Polke, and Anselm Kiefer.[16] The collection also 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, Padi-menekh and Henut-wedjebu.[20][21] Its collection of American artists includes the largest U.S.-museum collection of paintings by George Caleb Bingham.[22]

The collection contains at least six pieces that Nazis confiscated from their own museums as degenerate.[23] These include Max Beckmann's "Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery" which came to the museum through a New York art dealer, Curt 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 Grand Hôtel National, Lucerne, Switzerland, June 30, 1939.[23][24][25]

In the context of the museum's 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 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 heir Joseph Pulitzer Jr. The donation includes works by 17 European and American artists, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Constantin Brâncuși, Joan Miró, Philip Guston, Ellsworth Kelly and others.[26]
