Living, 1992, by Gilbert and George. C-print photographs. Denver Art Museum; funds from 1994 Alliance for Contemporary Art Auction.
When Christoph Heinrich replaced Dianne Vanderlip as the director of the museum's Modern and Contemporary department in 2007, he almost immediately began looking for ways to make changes. The results can be seen in Focus: the Figure, his reinstallation of the permanent-collection galleries, which opened last week in time for the Democratic National Convention.
