ANDY GOLDSWORTHY
Commission
Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, MO
Stone Sea
Set to open June 29 - 30, 2013
Stone Sea, a site-specific commission for the Saint Louis Art Museum, was inspired by the geology of St. Louis and the city's underlying base of limestone, formed over 300 million years ago when the Midwest was covered by sea. Using limestone from a local quarry, Goldsworthy fabricated approximately twenty-five arches, each measuring about ten feet high. The arches are densely arranged in the museum's courtyard adjoining the Main and new East buildings. The arches, made of roughly cut stone, produce a sense of fluidity reminiscent of the ocean.
Stone Sea looks to the past, present, and future to celebrate the expansion of the Saint Louis Art Museum. It brings together many of the artist's key themes and goals: commitment to the arch form, exploration of enclosed spaces, merging of the exterior and interior, investigation of local material, and finally, the connecting of people and place.
