The Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis is marking its 25th anniversary with the exhibition 'Dialogues & Conversations,' organized by its founder and chair, Emily Rauh Pulitzer. The show features over 85 works by more than 30 artists, including Edgar Degas, Willem de Kooning, and David Hammons, drawn from Pulitzer's personal collection, institutional loans, and works featured in past Pulitzer exhibitions.
The exhibition is significant as a reflection of Pulitzer's six-decade career as a curator and collector, tracing the artistic exchanges and long-term relationships that have shaped her approach. It functions as a personal and institutional milestone, highlighting the role of private passion in public cultural stewardship and offering a unique view into a major collection's formation through dialogue with artists and artworks.
