A fresh look at the Arch's maker
The big exhibition of the winter season, "Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future," which runs from Jan. 30 to April 27 at the Kemper Art Museum, will take a fresh look at Saarinen and hisachievements through 50 of his projects, completed and uncompleted. The exhibition has been on an international tour since 2006, and its stop at the Kemper underscores once again how important the recently expanded museum is to the cultural and intellectual life of the community.
I just missed this show when I was in Washington last fall, so I'm pretty happy to see that it's coming to the Kemper. Doubly so since I was given the associated catalog for Christmas, and have found it rather fascinating to flip through and look at the pictures (it's a bit of a daunting read as it's coffee table sized and has over 400 pages). Slate's architecture critic, Witold Rybczynski, also covered the exhibition in a slideshow essay from back in June, and I recommend that as well.
