- Art lovers packed the Saint Louis Art Museum's Farrell Auditorium on November 4, 2013 for a sold-out lecture by Andy Goldsworthy (born 1956). In the rare public lecture, the internationally renowned artist talked about his work and Stone Sea, the monumental site-specific commission he created at the Museum. Stone Sea has been described as Goldsworthy's most significant work in North America. Stone Sea is inspired by St. Louis geology and the city's underlying base of limestone, formed more than 300 million years ago when the Midwest was covered by sea. Using limestone from a local quarry, Goldsworthy fabricated 25 arches, each measuring about 10 feet high. The arches are densely arranged in the Courtyard adjoining the Museum's Cass Gilbert-designed Main and its new East Building, designed by Sir David Chipperfield. Made of roughly cut stone, Goldsworthy's arches produce a sense of fluidity reminiscent of the sea while the sculpture brings together many of the artist's key themes and goals: commitment to the arch form, exploration of enclosed spaces, merging of outside and inside, investigation of local material, and finally, connecting of people and place.
Amazing artist. Andy, thank you for imprinting our city with your soul. All 300 tons of it!
I love Andy's vision.
Your newest subscriber-for-life thanks you for your channel! Any recordings of your Phillip Glass concert back in 1972?
I know well, the arts departments are grossly underfunded but PLEASE get a projector that doesn’t distract from the speaker.

Listen carefully to him, then go. Express your own feelings about creation and recreation.
