The Denver Art Museum’s North Building — more commonly known as the Ponti building, in honor of its chief designer, Gio Ponti — will shut down on November 19 and remain closed for the next three years. The exhibit Then, Now, Next: Evolution of an Architectural Icon takes a look at the Ponti’s past and future.
Survey is a great name for a display of landscape paintings, and the William Havu Gallery has paired that three-artist show with a sculpture solo, Nancy Lovendahl: The Reclamation Suite.
Abstraction links the four artists in Space Gallery’s Unintended Consequences, and the results are eye-dazzling.
Art & Conflict, the Arvada Center’s main exhibit this fall, fills the six galleries on the center’s lower level with pieces in a range of mediums by nearly four dozen artists, most of them from Colorado.
The Denver Art Museum’s Ponti Building will get a $150 million facelift starting in November 2017.
Lawrence Argent, one of Colorado’s most successful and well-established artists, died suddenly in Denver on October 4, 2017. Argent’s most famous local commission is “I See What You Mean,” on the 14th Street side of the Colorado Convention Center. The piece, which was done in 2005, immediately earned an endearing…
William Stockman became a star in Denver’s art scene in the 1990s via ambitious solos filled with beautifully crafted, nominally representational works with enigmatic subject matter. And he’s still at it, as seen in the marvelous William Stockman: After Thought, now at Gildar Gallery. The paintings here represent a straightforward…
September marks the beginning of the new art season, with the long-running shows of summer finally closing and the first of the fall shows opening at Goodwin Fine Art and Walker Fine Art.
The fall opener at Michael Warren Contemporary offers two back-to-back solos, both with work inspired by nature and the natural environment, featuring artists Allison Stewart and Heidi Jung.

Joel Swanson is one of the region’s top conceptual artists. Not only is his work relentlessly intelligent, but it’s also relentlessly beautiful, as seen in Joel Swanson: Sticks & Stones at David B. Smith Gallery.
The artists at current shows at the William Havu Gallery and Tina Goodwin Fine Art are all taking their own routes to the same goal: using old-fashioned representational imagery in some kind of contemporary way.
Abstraction has been on a tear in the 21st century, and now there’s more proof of abstraction’s consistent appeal in contemporary art, in the form of three solos and a group show at Robischon Gallery.
Taking advantage of the gallery’s floor plan, Michael Warren Contemporary is currently presenting solos by Kelton Osborn and Andrew Roberts-Gray that bookend a group show.
The summer group show at Space Gallery, with the provocative title Alternative Facts, is a clutch of four solos that unfold in the enormous gallery.
The Western: An Epic in Art and Film is truly epic, as well as full of gimmicks. But when the curators are so knowledgeable and the quality of the material is so high, even gimmicks can’t detract from a great show, and the ideal summer blockbuster for the Denver Art Museum.
Some naysayers were concerned that Pirate’s move to Lakewood would mark the end of the artists’ co-op as a place to see cutting-edge art by some of the city’s most interesting artists, but the current shows by Eric Anderson and Charles Livingston should put those fears firmly to rest.
Born and raised in Utah, contemporary-realist painter Jenny Morgan now lives in New York, where she received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2008. But before that, she spent several years in Colorado, where she got her BFA at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in 2003. Now she’s back with a show at MCA Denver.

There’s an unbelievably ambitious exhibition with an unbelievably short run at RedLine right now: Downshifting, which was curated by Ramón Bonilla, a RedLine resident. Bonilla was interested in highlighting the international trend of reductive art, which is art that employs some kind of less-is-more approach.
