In Memoriam
Ernest Trova (1927-2009)
The Board of Directors, staff and members of Laumeier Sculpture Park would like to extend deepest sympathies to the family of Ernest Trova. In the mid-1970s, Ernest Trova, banker and arts patron Adam Aronson and County Parks Director Wayne Kennedy conceived the idea of an open-air art museum of contemporary sculpture. Trova donated 40 works to begin the collection in 1975, many of which can be seen within Laumeier Sculpture Park today. Without the foresight of our founders and the generosity of Ernest Trova, St. Louis would be without the unique experience that Laumeier provides.
Thank you Ernest Trova, you will be missed.
