Have you been to Denver’s new Clyfford Stills Museum?

A fantastic new museum recently opened in downtown Denver. The museum is a single-artist institution devoted to the life and work of one of the 20th century’s most influential and enigmatic painters – Clyfford Stills.

The Museum was conceived as a solid, continuous form that is opened up by natural light. Walls of textured concrete form the primary building envelope, interior walls and structural system. The entrance, deeply recessed beneath the cantilevered walls, holds the visitor to the earth. The lower level houses the education, archive and storage spaces. In the upper level galleries, the visitor moves through a series of nine distinct volumes where they encounter the work of Clyfford Still. Overhead, an open lattice of concrete unites the body of the building and offers illumination and connection to the atmosphere of the city. The galleries respond to the evolving character of Still’s art, changing scale and proportion, while varying the intensity of light.

Certainly a site to see – both inside and out.
