I finally made it by there today. I wanted to see the Flavin exhibit before it left (way cool).



The building is stunning. Easily one of the most beautiful in St. Louis, regardless of era. And Joe is a masterpiece! One of my favorite works of art in St Louis.

Jeez, CS, what took you so long? I thought you were up on the local arts scene. :wink:



I agree about Joe. I'm not the biggest fan of Serra, but this one works. It's especially nice at twilight, when the moon rises and the lights come on in the surrounding buildings. The shared courtyard with the Contemporary is one of St. Louis' hidden sweetspots.

The Spring Church in Grand Center is getting a new life from the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts:
Now, the site will be closed to the public as the Pulitzer turns Spring Church into more permanent use, saying it will
      • repair the masonry, ensure ADA accessibility and further stabilize the structure while maintaining its architectural character
      • retain the open roofline, a feature that has made the building an iconic site in the neighborhood
      • add features to enhance the visitor experience including handrails, a repaired staircase and infrastructure for electricity and lighting, among others
      • make minor improvements to the adjacent lot north of the church, which will remain a publicly accessible outdoor green space.

The Pulitzer is working with St. Louis-based Vessel Architecture and Design. Along with the undisclosed cost of renovations to the building, the Pulitzer has paid a "small fee" to Grand Center Inc. for the site, said Katie Hasler Peissig, who is the museum's director of marketing and communications.
