Tours at the Denver Art Museum
Our fall sampler proves once again that you’ll always find something new at the Denver Art Museum. Enthusiastic curatorial staff and docents will spotlight brand new installations drawn from the museum’s collections: First Glance/Second Look: Quilts from the Denver Art Museum Collection; Depth & Details: Carved Bamboo from China, Japan & Korea; and Photography & Vision: The Influence of Joyce & Ted Straus (the Straus family has given more than 250 photographs spanning the history of photography from works by Edward Weston to Sandy Scogland). We’ll be among the first to see the special exhibition, Matisse and Friends: Selected Masterworks from the National Gallery of Art. And we’ll tour Daniel Sprick’s Fictions: Recent Works which features more than 40 examples of this Colorado artist’s portraits and still life paintings. One of the DAM’s conservationists will guide us through their new open-view facility. We’ll also see recent pieces by New York painter and sculptor Jeffrey Gibson, DAM’s Artist in residence this summer, whose work blends modern patterns and objects with more traditional Native American materials and motifs. All this and more! All participants must either be DAM members or become one. Limited to 28.
