Meet Me in St. Louis, Joe

In 2006 I found that I had Southwest Airlines miles that were about to expire, and the Pulitzer Foundation in St. Louis had an exhibit of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s photographs of Richard Serra’s Joe. All of this housed in the Pulitzer Foundation’s building by Tadao Ando!

I spent almost the entire day there, wandering inside and out. They didn’t allow photographs inside, but Joe was outside, just guarded very carefully to stop anyone from touching it! I spent so much time there, chatting with staff, that a guard offered to show me the non-public spaces of the building. But still no pictures inside.
