The show is a cross-cultural visual feast.

Another example of the successful reconciliation of different cultures is the DAM's own director, Christoph Heinrich, who hails from Germany but is clearly right at home in Denver. I bring him up because I inadvertently left him out of my piece last week introducing William Morrow, the new curator in the Modern and Contemporary Department. It wasn't that I had forgotten about him; after all, I'd told Morrow what a great job I thought Heinrich had done converting the formerly mostly static DAM into an exhibition-driven place. It's just that it slipped my mind that Heinrich, before becoming Lewis Sharp's successor, had been Dianne Vanderlip's in Modern and Contemporary Art from 2007 to 2009. The omission is all the more egregious since I reviewed every show he put together — some of which won Best of Denver awards.
