The rapper took time off to B’s show in town to tour the free-entry exhibition and even posed for a photo inside the sculpture with the museum’s founder Emily Rauh Pulitzer.
The foundation was founded in 2001 by Emily who and her husband Joseph Pulitzer Jr.—had originally sought to create a space to install works from their personal collection.
The inaugural exhibition featured a selection of works from the Pulitzers’ private collections, including works by Roy Lichtenstein, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Kiki Smith and Andy Warhol.
Three artworks are permanently on display at Pulitzer. Ellsworth Kelly’s ‘Blue Black’ is a twenty-eight-foot vertical wall sculpture under a skylight in the building’s main gallery. Richard Serra’s ‘Joe’ is the first in a series of steel twisted spirals and is located in the courtyard west of the building, which HOV poses in the first photo.
