At the Saint Louis Zoo, World Ecology Gala attendees got the chance to see many of Robert Bateman’s original works like “Power Play” (left) and “Master of the Herd,” which were part of Bateman’s “Inspired by Nature” exhibit on display earlier this season at the zoo’s Peabody Hall.
The Whitney R. Harris World Ecology Center at the University of Missouri–St. Louis presented its World Ecology Award to Robert Bateman, an internationally acclaimed wildlife artist, at the event on Nov. 21.
The photograph was taken by UMSL photographer August Jennewein and is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
