more St Louis

The reason we took a 3 day trip to St Louis was to see this building -

The Pulitzer Foundation Building, Architect - Tadao Ando
- and this sculpture.

a small part of Joe - a permanent installation created by Richard Serra They were both wonderful, as was the St. Louis Arch.

St Louis Arch

I'm in St Louis to visit the Pulitzer Foundation Building designed by Tadao Ando with the associated sculpture by Richard Serra - but that is for tomorrow.

Today I was laying in the grass looking up at the St. Louis Arch. It's a beautiful sculpture. The gigantic scale of it makes it very impressive. I was surprised as I didn't expect to think much of it . . . but I did. It's very different in person than in photos.

This is the bottom of one of the bases - it's pretty large. The St. Louis Arch is a catenary arch designed by Eero Saarinen, finished in 1965.
