There are few residential buildings that can boast the abundance of art celebrating the most revered MLB franchise, The St. Louis Cardinals, than One Cardinal Way. Curated by RD Jones + Associates and Canvas Art Consultants Director, Matthew Whitaker, the team worked alongside key members of the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame & Museum curatorial team to develop a collection of distinct works with a narrative rich in all things baseball.
“Creating this collection challenged us to find new and unexpected ways to artistically interpret various aspects of the game of baseball, and to differentiate this collection of works from others that can be seen in venues throughout a city that is inextricably linked to America’s favorite pastime,” says Canvas Art Consultants Director Matthew Whitaker.
The art collection was tailored specifically for One Cardinal Way and includes an assemblage of custom baseball-related memorabilia including approximately 150 original paintings on canvas, digitally drawn caricatures of Cardinals players hand selected by Bill DeWitt Jr., wallcoverings adapted from historic Cardinals photos, columns wrapped in baseballs, baseball themed sculptures, and Bill DeWitt Jr.’s bat collection prominently on display in the Entertainment Lounge.
