The Essential St. Louis The Christmas season gets the star treatment in St. Louis: holiday events, light displays, Christmas concerts and on and on. Plenty of non-Christmas happenings as well: Steve Martin and Martin Short at the Fox Theatre, El Monstero–the Definitive Pink Floyd Experience, at the Pageant, Jeff Dunham at Enterprise Center, and Shotspeare's raucous "Romeo and Juliet" at the Playhouse at Westport Plaza. Some must-see exhibits around town include Kehinde Wiley at the Saint Louis Art Museum and Ruth Asawa at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation.

Pulitzer Arts Foundation

Pulitzer Arts Foundation curators consistently seek art that exploits the Tadao Ando-designed building’s nonpareil exhibition spaces.

In the work of Ruth Asawa, who made sculptures for some six decades, the Pulitzer has found its perfect collaborator. Ruth Asawa: Life’s Work, on view through Feb. 16, 2019, includes Asawa’s most recognizable pieces, hanging forms of looped, knitted wire, that inhabit the Pulitzer’s spaces with the airy elegance of elongated sea creatures, at once material and transparent, profoundly beautiful by themselves, exhilarating in their dialogues with each other. Asawa (19262013), born in California to Japanese immigrants, learned the technique of turning wire into forms from craftsmen in Toluca, Mexico, and used it to create increasingly complex sculptures, each from a single strand of wire.

She also created interlocking forms, spheres nestled within lobes and flared openings in the enclosed surfaces that look like the result of small explosions.

Concurrently, the Pulitzer also features the work of pioneering photojournalist, Lola Álvarez Bravo (1903-1993), spanning her five-decade career and including portraits of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

St. Louis Your Way UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE. FIND THE CITY CURATED FOR YOU AT WHERETRAVELER.COM/ST-LOUIS.

ChurchGoer

St. Louis has a long history with the blues, up to and including the present. Catch some of the city’s best blues artists at (1) BB’s Jazz, Blues & Soups, just south of Busch Stadium at 700 S. Broadway, where there’s live music— jazz or blues—every night. The (2) National Blues Museum, right next America’s Center downtown, takes visitors on a bluesy journey up the Mississippi to Memphis, St. Louis and beyond, and features state-of-the-art interactive elements that let you compose, record and remix your own blues riff, and send it in a email to yourself. Another of St. Louis top blues venues, (3) Broadway Oyster Bar, (not far from BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups) serves up Cajun/creole cuisine with live music nightly, including a longstanding Monday night gig by the Soulard Blues Band.

You don't have to be Christian, or even religious, to appreciate the sublime interiors of these St. Louis churches. (1) Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, in the Central West End, dazzles visitors of every faith with the world's largest collection of mosaics under one roof, project that took some eighty years to complete. The extraordinary architectural element in downtown's (2) Christ Church Cathedral, the thirty-five-foot-high, Caen stone reredos, was intricately carved in Exeter, England. At the (3) Shrine of St. Joseph, just north of downtown (the site of a miracle that led to the canonization of Jesuit missionary Peter Claver), the parishioners built the Altar of Answered Prayers in 1867 to fulfill a pledge made by the congregation if it was spared in a cholera epidemic.

Art Collector Got that acquisitive itch? Scratch it at (1) Artisans in the Loop, where you can find

paintings, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, glass, metatwork, photography and more by local, regional and national artists.

If it's blue-chip art you're after, head over to (2) Kodner Gallery, home to the best names in European and American art, like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Oscar Berninghaus, Thomas Hart Benton, Andy Warhol, Carl Wimar, Grant Wood and many more.

Printmaker Tom Huck creates, displays and sells his raucous, profane and wildly entertaining "rural satire" woodblock prints from his studio, (3) Tom Huck's Evil Prints where his large- and small-scale prints, eagerly collected by museums around the world, are sold (Saturdays) from $15-$4,500.
