The property is across the street from Forest Park, which has more than 1,300 acres of green space and is home to the Saint Louis Zoo and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Driving to downtown St. Louis takes about 15 minutes. St. Louis Lambert International Airport is about 20 minutes away. From there, another pair of doors opens into a grand, wood-paneled foyer with a fireplace flanked by built-in bench seats. A dining room with yet another fireplace and a crystal chandelier that once hung in a St. Louis hotel can be reached from the library or the foyer.

Claudia Mitchell, a potter from Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico, gathers clay on a mesa between two sandstone rock formations, hammer and pick at the ready. Through her vessels, “the spirit of all those people is brought back to life,” she said. “Our past and present become the future in the pottery.”Now she is helping to broaden the understanding of American art. The objects were all selected by members of the Pueblo Pottery Collective and the labels highlight Pueblo peoples’ voices and perspectives, rather than the traditional museum label style. (The show, through June 2024, continues by appointment in a more intimate setting at the Vilcek Foundation in Manhattan, before traveling to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Saint Louis Art Museum.)

Picasso: Love Him or Hate Him?

It is not hugely cool to profess a love for Picasso these days. This is what Picasso’s detractors — like Hannah Gadsby, the Australian comedian and Picasso basher, who will help curate a Picasso show at the Brooklyn Museum opening on June 2 — often miss. Picasso, by contrast, brought the weight of lived experience into his work, even when he was tethered to archetypal subjects. “The Mother” (1901), an early painting by Picasso, shows a view of motherhood purged of Renaissance idealization. The conventional view of the painting holds that the women are “dolled-up cocottes,” as John Richardson glibly put it in his biography of Picasso.
