Citing her “outstanding contributions to the St. Louis arts community,”
the St. Louis Award committee named Emily Rauh Pulitzer as recipient
of their annual honor for 2002. The award was presented earlier
this year.
Pulitzer is the 75th person to receive the award since it was established
by philanthropist David Wohl in 1931. Wohl’s vision for the award
is for “the resident of metropolitan St. Louis, who during the preceding
year, has contributed the most outstanding service for its development…or
performed such service as to bring greatest honor to the community.”
With the opening of the Ando-designed Pulitzer Foundation for the
Arts, Emily Pulitzer created an institution to serve artists, architects,
scholars, students and the general public. The facility not only
displays works from the collection she built with her late husband
Joseph Pulitzer Jr., but also encourages understanding of the relationship
between art and architecture. The stunning design has been lauded
nationally and internationally by arts and architectural critics.
She is a long-time supporter of the Grand Center and other area
arts programs and organizations.
