Museum Celebrates
One Year of Construction
The Grand Opening of the David Chipperfield–designed East Building is scheduled for early 2013.
With substantial construction expected to be complete in 2012, the schedule allows approximately
a year for commissioning, testing of new systems, and collection reinstallations.
The Saint Louis Art Museum has made remarkable
progress on its first major expansion in a generation.
Since breaking ground in January 2010, significant
headway has been made both outside and inside the
Museum. With the construction of the new underground
Parking Garage well underway, the first walls of the new
David Chipperfield–designed East Building are rising
into view, and the Museum’s new gallery spaces are
taking shape.
Behind the scenes, Museum curators have been
developing reinstallation plans for the new galleries as
well as the galleries in the Cass Gilbert–designed Main
Building. Well before the opening of the new building,
galleries throughout the Main Building will begin to be
reinstalled—some as early as this year. Currently in the
pipeline for 2011 are plans for an expanded presentation
of the Museum’s collection of European Art to 1800, as
well as the complete reinstallation of Grigg Gallery and
the return of works of art to Sculpture Hall.
The Museum is dedicated to making art meaningful
for a broad public audience. Our expansion project not
only increases and improves the Museum’s gallery and
exhibition spaces, but it also expands our educational
facilities and public amenities. Museum access will also
be greatly enhanced, with a new accessible entrance on
Fine Arts Drive to relieve traffic and improve safety for
the tens of thousands of school children who visit the
Museum every year. Within the Museum, a new central
staircase and improved signage will make it easier for
visitors to find galleries and amenities.
Timeline For Expansion
2006
2007
Master Plan for the Expansion: 2006
Issue: To locate the expansion in relationship to the existing building and suggest
connections and configuration.
Design Development: 2007
Issue: To provide additional gallery
space, improve visitor amenities, and
address infrastructural needs.
Schematic Design: 2006–07
Issue: To locate galleries and public spaces, refine connections to existing
building, and develop public and nonpublic circulation routes.

Once construction is complete in 2012, the Museum’s
collection of Modern and Contemporary art will
be relocated to the new East Building, a building
appropriate for our time. This relocation will enable
many masterworks of postwar art to be removed from
storage and put on view for the very first time. More of
the Museum’s world-class collection will subsequently
become open to the public and stay permanently on view.

The Saint Louis Art Museum is pleased to recognize the remarkable generosity of our donors
who are setting the pace for the Campaign’s success.
Emerson is known worldwide for its
corporate innovation and creativity, and
its longtime support for the Saint Louis
Art Museum is a testament to these
values. The St. Louis–based Fortune
500 company recently increased its
commitment to The Campaign for the
Saint Louis Art Museum from $3 million
to $5 million, making it one of the most
significant corporate gifts the Museum
has ever received. “Emerson is proud
to be a corporate supporter of the Saint
Louis Art Museum,” says company CEO
David Farr. “We were one of the first
contributors to the campaign and more
recently increased our commitment
in hopes of raising the profile of this
campaign and encouraging others to
join the effort.”
This is not the first time Emerson has
contributed to a capital campaign for
the Museum. Emerson provided major
support for the Sculpture Hall and
East Wing renovations in the 1970s.
“Emerson was a major supporter of
Carolyn Danforth’s recent gift of
nearly 300 Plains Indian objects
from the collection of her late
husband, Donald Danforth Jr.,
and the Danforth Foundation’s
supporting gift of $2 million to
name the Donald Danforth Jr.
Gallery of Native American Art to
house the collection represent a
major commitment to the future
of the Saint Louis Art Museum.
During his lifetime, Mr. Danforth
amassed a collection of nearly
300 objects made by members of
Indian tribes from the Northern and
Southern Plains. Born in St. Louis
in 1932, Mr. Danforth developed a
love for Native American culture
and the West during his childhood,
having spent 13 summers visiting
a ranch in Wyoming. However, he
only began collecting Plains Indian
objects in the 1980s.

the Art Museum’s capital campaign in
the 1970s because we understood then
how important this facility was to the
community,” explains Farr. “Emerson
knows that financial support is
critical to enabling the Art Museum
to continue its mission to bring
new cultural expression and unique
programs to the St. Louis community.”
Farr emphasizes the importance of
corporate support for cultural institutions
in the St. Louis community, even during
a period of economic downturn like the
one the nation has faced in the past two
years. “While individuals and businesses
have had to adjust their giving due to
recent economic conditions, Emerson
believes the commitment to supporting
the arts in the St. Louis community will
continue to be strong,” Farr says. “The
Saint Louis Art Museum is a community
treasure that must be allowed to continue
in its mission to inspire creativity for
generations to come.”
Over the years, Mr. Danforth
developed a keen sense of
the visual differences in tribal
styles and acquired objects that
demonstrated the aesthetic range
of Plains art.
In addition to his own interest
in Native American culture,
Mr. Danforth felt strongly that
their works of art could have great
educational value. “He always
thought education was very
important, and he loved seeing
children learn,” explains Carolyn.
For Carolyn and her family there
was never any question that
the collection would remain in
St. Louis. “It’s always been
home for both of us and for all of
our children,” Carolyn explains.
“We have so many wonderful
institutions here, the Art Museum
being right up there at the top.
the campaign for the saint louis art museum
Farr champions the
importance of investing in
local cultural institutions for
the future of the St. Louis
community. “Emerson
knows how broad cultural
offerings contribute to
thriving communities, since
many businesses consider
quality of life attributes when
deciding on opening new locations
or expanding existing operations,” he
explains. “The Art Museum is a key
attraction within the St. Louis economic
development landscape that can help
draw new businesses to our region.”
Farr truly understands and appreciates
the complex and thoughtful design that
has been selected for the Museum’s
more-than-200,000-square-foot
John and Susan Horseman have
pledged a major gift to The Campaign
for the Saint Louis Art Museum. The
Horsemans moved to St. Louis from
Cleveland more than three decades
ago. Since then, they have become
increasingly involved at the Museum,
particularly as they have begun
collecting American art in recent
years. The Horsemans are current
Beaux Arts Council Members at the
Benefactor level, and Susan has served
on the Friends Board since 2009.
expansion. “It is important to note that
the plans for this expansion have been
extremely well designed and there has
been great care to ‘get it right’ from an
environmental and social perspective to
better serve the community as a whole,”
he says. “Emerson knows that supporting
the Art Museum’s capital campaign
will preserve the cultural significance of
this important St. Louis institution and
increase its reputation and accessibility
for many years to come.”
Carolyn
Danforth
Since moving to St. Louis as a family
more than a decade ago, the Trapps
have made the Saint Louis Art Museum
a part of their lives and a major recipient
of their talents and generosity. They
are longtime Beaux Arts Council
Members at the Benefactor level, and
Pam has recently been appointed
Chair of the Development Committee
of the Museum’s Board of Trustees.
Culminating more than a decade of
patronage of the Museum is the Trapps’
recent commitment to The Campaign
for the Saint Louis Art Museum.
He would just be so thrilled
to know that his collection
was going to be at the
Saint Louis Art Museum.”
The Donald Danforth Jr.
Gallery of Native American
Art—which will be installed
on the third floor of the
Main Building as part of the
Museum’s expansion project—
will comprise the core of the
Museum’s permanent collection of
Native American art. The Danforth
Collection will constitute roughly
40 percent of the Museum’s
holdings in this area. Through this
gift, Native American art is given
a newly enhanced presence within
the Museum’s collections.
Over the last decade, the Horsemans
have amassed an impressive
collection of American art from the
first half of the 20th century. “There
is so much of our culture and our
history that can be understood and
appreciated through American art,”
John says. “Sometimes I visit the
Museum’s American galleries on
my lunch break. I find art to be very
relaxing, and it helps me clarify my
thinking on matters that may be
The Museum is indebted to
Carolyn Danforth and the entire
Danforth family for their commitment
to fulfilling Mr. Danforth’s legacy.
Their generosity is an inspiration
for others in the St. Louis community
and beyond.
Though she lived elsewhere as a
young adult, Pam is a St. Louis native
with fond memories of coming to the
Museum as a child. “I took art classes
here on Saturdays, and of course I took
the requisite school trips to see the
mummies,” Pam remembers. “When
we moved back here in 1997 with our
children we began to bring them to the
Museum as well.”

completely unrelated.” Serving as
further testament to John’s interest
in the Museum’s collection is his
recent appointment to the Museum’s
Board of Trustees.
Art education is a cause that is
particularly close to the Horsemans’
hearts. “I think art is wonderful; it’s
beautiful; it can even be appalling, but
it’s such a beautiful form that we want
generations to continue enjoying it,”
Susan explains. “Now that so much
of children’s free time is filled with
television and video games, there’s just
nothing like coming to the Museum and
exposing children to art from all cultures
and time periods. So much would be
forgotten if it weren’t for museums.”
As part of the Museum’s expansion
project, over 13,000 square feet of
existing space will be renovated
for permanent collection galleries,
education, classroom, and public
use. A dedicated school group
Greg grew up in Indianapolis and went to
college in New Orleans. Since graduation
he has lived in approximately eight
different US cities. “I was introduced to
the Saint Louis Art Museum when we
moved here in 1997, and I feel confident
in saying that it is among the best
museums in the country, having seen
a lot of them,” he says.
“Our decision to move back to St. Louis
was related to what a great place this
city is to raise a family,” says Pam. “I think
we as a community need to be prouder
of what St. Louis has to offer in terms of
free cultural institutions for people of all
socioeconomic levels. And the Museum
is certainly one of those gems that
St. Louisans can be proud of.”
The Trapps are especially interested in
the outdoor component of the expansion
plans. “We are obviously committed to
the entire expansion project, but I am
particularly excited about the landscape
plans,” says Pam. “The exterior of the

entrance will be located
to the south of the
Museum. This new group
entrance will relieve traffic
congestion from Fine Arts
Drive and improve safety
for the tens of thousands
of school children who visit
the Museum every year.
The Horsemans are excited about the
Museum’s expansion project and the
impact it will have on the Museum
and the St. Louis community at large.
“In our travels we have seen many
museum expansions, and the impact
of those projects on their respective
collections has been monumental. I
think the Museum’s expansion will
have the same wonderful impact
here,” John says. “Every bit as much
as the St. Louis Cardinals are a legacy
in this city so is the Saint Louis Art
Museum part of our heritage, and
it is our job to maintain this great
institution for future generations.”
Pam and
Greg Trapp
Museum connects it to
Forest Park, which—like
the Museum—is a very
important landmark to
St. Louis,” Greg explains.
As part of the expansion
project, the Museum has
appointed noted international
landscape architect Michel
Desvigne to the design
team. Plans developed by Desvigne
will address the Museum’s potential
to more actively embrace the natural
beauty of its setting in Forest Park by
adding approximately 730 new trees to
the Museum’s leased site as well as
installing outdoor sculpture. Desvigne’s
previous projects include Millennium
Park in London’s Greenwich Peninsula,
several modern art museums’ gardens,
and a more recent project at the
Keio University in Tokyo. Desvigne’s
US projects include the Dallas Centre
for Performing Arts and the Walker Art
Center in Minneapolis.
The Museum is indebted to the
Trapps for their generosity to the
future of the Museum. As Pam
explains of their commitment, “The
Museum is one of the greatest cultural
institutions in our community, and we
want it to stay that way.”

Education Center
The Museum welcomes roughly 1,000
school groups—or about 30,000
students—through its doors each year.
A new dedicated school and tour group
entrance—located to the south of the
Museum—will lead visitors to an expanded
Education Center in the South Building.
The new entry for school groups is intended
to enhance the safety, flow, and experience
of the Museum’s thousands of annual
school-age visitors.
The schematic design for the Education
Center includes a student gallery/multipurpose room for presentations and
receptions, two fully equipped classrooms,
and an art study space for smaller group
activities. School programs, such as
Exploring with the Artist and High School
Art Project (pictured at right), and teacher
development programs like the Big Event
for Teachers and Educator Open House are
just some of the programs that will take
place in the new space.
“Through hands-on study, lecture-based
presentations, and guided explorations of
art techniques, the Education Center will
allow the Museum’s staff to deliver a variety
of programs and engage a new generation
of participants,” says Bill Appleton, assistant
director for public programs and education.
“While many core initiatives will continue
to take place in the Museum’s greatest
educational resource—its galleries—
programming in the new Education Center
will offer a laboratory of possibility to
visitors of all ages.”
High School Art Project is an exciting annual program in which small teams of promising high school art students from schools all
over the region immerse themselves in the Museum’s galleries. Last year, the 2010 Master Teacher Summer Fellow, Carla Tuetken, led
an examination of 20th-century abstract art. Students explored and discovered abstraction through discussion of celebrated works in
the Museum’s collection and through practical application of the creative process.
Monsanto Supports the Education Center
Long before the Museum’s Education Center was fully envisioned, local community leader
Monsanto made a generous $500,000 pledge of support for the project.
“Education is at the core of the Monsanto Fund’s
mission,” explains Deborah Patterson, President
of the Fund. “The Museum’s new Education
Center will help to broaden the experience of
students who visit the Museum and pique
their natural curiosity about the visual arts. The
programs held in the Education Center will help
them make connections between the arts and the
world around them. This type of arts education
offers young people a different way of viewing and
exploring the world.”

“The Museum’s programs for students, adults,
and families offer a wide variety of opportunities
for learning,” says Patterson. “This variety not
only exposes kids to the arts, but also encourages
intergenerational interactivity between parents and
children. Professional development for teachers
is important as well—the Museum’s programs
encourage energizing and exciting ways for
teachers to interface with their students.”
The Museum is indebted to the Monsanto Fund for
their support of the Education Center. Through their
gift, Monsanto is committing to the success of the
Museum and the future of the St. Louis community.
“Supporting the Saint Louis Art Museum means
that students and teachers will have access to one
of the crown jewels of the region for years to come,”
says Patterson. “The Art Museum is critical to the
cultural vibrancy of our region.”
Located in the former Puck’s Restaurant space on the second level of the South Building, the new Education Center will provide an art study
room, two fully equipped classrooms, and a student gallery/multi-purpose space for visiting artists, scholars, professional colleagues, staff,
and volunteers alike.
