In 2011 Mark S. Weil committed the collection of old master prints, drawings and sculpture, which he had built over many years with Phoebe Dent Weil, to the Saint Louis Art Museum, placing it in an irrevocable trust to come to the Museum upon his death. The 40 sculptures, one painting, and over 100 works on paper (mostly old master, but including a small number of modern and contemporary sculptures, drawings, prints, and photographs) will fundamentally transform the Museum's collection. To honor such an extraordinary gift, the Saint Louis Art Museum will produce an exhibition and catalogue in March 2017, consisting of a selection of 28 sculptures and over 50 prints and drawings. The exhibition and catalogue will be arranged according to thematic sections that are designed to demonstrate the high quality of these works, and also to better understand their respective periods, movements, creators, and functions.
