The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and Pulitzer Arts Foundation teamed up to organize a traveling symposium that addressed issues related to the installation of Old Masters in the twenty-first century. The symposium consisted of visits to the new presentation of Old Masters at the Saint Louis Art Museum; the exhibition Ideal (Dis-) Placements: Old Masters at the Pulitzer; and the Clark’s display of its permanent collection in its Tadao Ando-designed Stone Hill Center. The symposium addressed questions of placement and installation—especially within Ando’s architecture at the Pulitzer—as well as the audience of the Old Masters, both in their original historical moment and in the present.
