Art Along the Rivers
A Bicentennial Celebration
"Art Along the Rivers" coincides with the Missouri state bicentennial. It presents extraordinary objects produced or collected within a 150-mile region around St. Louis. Beginning with the ancient Mississippian culture followed by the Osage, French, African American, German, British, and artists today, these communities developed rich artistic traditions that have vibrant legacies.

description
The book unites the region’s paintings, sculptures, works on paper, furniture, ceramics, metals, textiles, and more. It looks within – and beyond – the years of statehood to demonstrate how the region’s geography, raw materials and pressing social issues shaped over 1,000 years of artistic production. The catalogue brings these objects into dialogue to celebrate their shared artistic history and serves as the first significant publication to introduce this primary artistic material to a global audience.
