UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

Depth & Detail: Carved Bamboo from China, Japan & Korea
August 25, 2013–September 30, 2015
Depth and Detail: Carved Bamboo from China, Japan, and Korea showcases a
variety of carved, cut, incised and etched bamboo objects. The exhibition
demonstrates how artists used bamboo, carving deeply through it to achieve
different colors and textures. The intricate decoration of the items on view includes
religious imagery as well as people, animals, birds, insects, plants and landscapes
that tell stories or have symbolic meaning. Pieces on view include containers, fans,
hangings, writing implements and other items inspired by poetry and literature and
formed of this strong and versatile material.
The exhibition is made possible through the Adelle Lutz Endowment of the Denver Art Museum, as well as the
contributions of the generous donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the
Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).

Sovereign: Independent Voices
September 15, 2013–August 17, 2014
Sovereign: Independent Voices highlights the work of three leading American
Indian contemporary artists whose art has received international acclaim: Kent
Monkman, Rose Simpson and Virgil Ortiz. These artists challenge viewers to think
more broadly about the place of Native artists in the contemporary art world
through a fusion of historic techniques with contemporary styles and ideas. The
works reflect meditations on the self and Native histories in media including
painting, sculptural ceramics and multimedia.
Thomas Moran’s Yellowstone: A Project for the Nation
October 6, 2013–January 19, 2014
The Yellowstone National Park, and the Mountain Regions of Portions of Idaho,
Nevada, Colorado and Utah, a portfolio of 15 chromolithographs by Thomas
Moran, was published in 1876. Acknowledged today as perhaps the finest
chromolithographs ever issued, this portfolio was also the first illustrated publication
about the West to be printed in color and the first time Moran’s western paintings
were made widely available to the public. In the exhibition, each chromolithograph
will be displayed alongside one or more watercolors or drawings, exploring Moran’s
sources and creative process.
Thomas Moran's Yellowstone: A Project for the Nation was organized by the Joslyn Art Museum, Durham Center for
Western Studies, and the Denver Art Museum, Petrie Institute of Western American Art. It is supported by
anonymous donors to the Petrie Institute of Western American Art, Carolyn and Bob Barnett, the generous donors to
the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign, and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District
(SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The Denver Post.
Delegation Portraits
August 20, 2013–January 2014
This exhibit features 13 small photographic portraits of Native Americans taken
during tribal delegation visits to Washington, D.C., during the period 1867-1872.
Tribal leaders were invited to Washington as official governmental representatives
in an effort to negotiate treaties and resolve disputes. Although such images were
originally printed for government purposes, they were later popularized and sold as
collectable cabinet cards. Despite the circumstances of their creation, the portraits’
intimate size and presentation allow an individual, even empathetic, view of those
pictured.
DENVER ART MUSEUM EXHIBITION AND EVENT SCHEDULE - PAGE 3
Passport to Paris
October 27, 2013–February 9, 2014
This trio of exhibitions focuses on French art from the late 1600s to early 1900s and
explores changes in art and society during three important centuries in art history.
Revealing how art mirrors society, guests will get a sense of the changes that took
place from the time of the powerful and absolute monarchy of Louis XIV to the
individualistic café society. The museum also will offer numerous complementary
activities highlighting France and the French aesthetic. The Denver Art Museum
(DAM) will partner with the Colorado Symphony to create an immersive, on-site
experience that will beckon visitors back throughout the season.
Court to Café: Three Centuries of French Masterworks from the Wadsworth
Atheneum will showcase 50 masterpieces ranging from the 1600s through the
early 1900s and including religious and mythological subjects, portraits,
landscapes, still lifes and genre scenes by artists including Nicolas Poussin,
François Boucher, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul
Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Claude Monet.
Nature as Muse: Impressionist Landscapes from the Frederic C. Hamilton
Collection and Denver Art Museum will display about 36 stunning landscapes by
19th century Impressionist artists from the collection of Frederic C. Hamilton and
the DAM’s own holdings, including pieces by Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Berthe
Morisot, Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley.
Drawing Room: An Intimate Look at French Drawings from the Esmond
Bradley Martin Collection will offer a space where visitors can get close to
artworks whose intimate nature invites contemplation and close-up viewing.
Comprised of approximately 39 works-on-paper, the exhibition—drawn from the
private collection of Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin—includes pieces by François
Boucher, Jacques-Louis David, Théodore Géricault, Jean-Auguste-Dominique
Ingres, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley.
A special exhibition ticket, which will provide access to all three exhibitions, will be
required. Tickets will go on sale to the public on September 17 at the museum, via
the website at www.denverartmuseum.org or by calling 720-913-0130.
Passport to Paris is presented by Delta Dental of Colorado. Exhibition support is also provided by Adolph Coors
Foundation Exhibition Endowment Fund, Stockman Family Foundation, Fine Arts Foundation, Larimer Square,
William La Bahn, the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural
Facilities District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The Denver Post.
Court to Café: Three Centuries of French Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum is organized by the
Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, Connecticut, and is supported by an indemnity from the Federal
Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
Nature as Muse: Impressionist Landscapes from the Frederic C. Hamilton Collection and the Denver Art Museum is

Herbert Bayer: Berlin Graphics 1928-1938
November 10, 2013–November 23, 2014
Herbert Bayer spent an artistically fruitful decade in Berlin following his tenure at
the Bauhaus. His graphic designs of the time are characterized by inventive
integration of typography, photomontage and graphics. Born of Bayer’s multidisciplinary method, these designs appear fresh, even today.
DENVER ART MUSEUM EXHIBITION AND EVENT SCHEDULE - PAGE 4
Seen in Passing: Photographs by Chuck Forsman
November 17, 2013–May 25, 2014
For more than 40 years, Chuck Forsman has been a pioneering landscape
artist whose paintings and photographs have engaged environmental and
land-use issues from unique personal viewpoints. This exhibition features
photographs from two bodies of work: Western Rider, a series of Western
landscapes seen through the windshield of Forsman’s car; and views of North
America captured while walking his dog, from the series Walking Magpie.
Forsman’s America is banal and beautiful, gentle and terrifying by turns. His
eye for form, detail and the occasional quiet joke challenge ordinary
perceptions of "landscape" and of "community" and awaken a new sense of
where and how we live.
Picasso to Pollock:
Modern Masterworks from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery
March 2, 2014–June 8, 2014
The DAM and the Clyfford Still Museum (CSM) present Picasso to Pollock:
Modern Masterworks from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery at the DAM. The
exhibition brings together approximately 50 iconic artworks by more than 40
influential artists from the late 19th century to the present. Drawn from the
collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, one of the finest
collections of 20th-century art in the country, this exhibition provides an
unparalleled opportunity to witness the major stylistic developments that shaped
the course of modern art. Picasso to Pollock will feature masterpieces by some of
the most prominent names in art history including Vincent van Gogh, Pablo
Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol as well
as one of the finest drip paintings ever created by Jackson Pollock. Picasso to
Pollock is curated by Dean Sobel, director of the CSM. A special exhibition ticket
will be required, which will provide access to both Picasso to Pollock at the DAM
and 1959, a correlative exhibition at the CSM.
This exhibition was initiated by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York, and was organized by AlbrightKnox Chief Curator Douglas Dreishpoon. Support is provided by the generous donors to the Annual Fund
Leadership Campaign and both exhibitions are supported by the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural
Facilities District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The Denver Post.
The American West in Bronze, 1850–1925
May 11, 2014–August 31, 2014
The western bronze statuette was eagerly collected by the urban populace at the
turn of the 20th century, and a century later no segment of American sculpture
remains more appreciated by the public. Yet there has never been a full-scale
exhibition on this rich and complex topic until now. The American West in Bronze,
1850-1925, will follow a loose chronological structure with four distinct areas of
thematic exploration: American Indians; wildlife; cowboys; and settlers (mountain
men, cavalry, prospectors and pioneers). Approximately 60 bronze sculptures will
be showcased in the exhibition, with 25 artists represented including John Quincy
Adams Ward, Hermon Atkins MacNeil, Alexander Phimister Proctor, Charles
Russell, Frederic Remington and Paul Manship. The exhibition was co-curated by
Thayer Tolles, Ph.D., of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Thomas Smith,
director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the DAM.
The American West in Bronze, 1850–1925, is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in collaboration with
the Denver Art Museum.

CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS
Rocky Mountain Majesty: The Paintings of Charles Partridge Adams
Through September 8, 2013
Charles Partridge Adams was a Colorado landscape painter active during the late
1800s and early 1900s. Rocky Mountain Majesty: The Paintings of Charles
Partridge Adams marks the first time that Adams’ paintings will be displayed
together at a major art museum. The DAM is the sole venue for this important
exhibition that highlights more than 30 of the very best of his oil and watercolor
paintings depicting Colorado and showing the diversity of Adams’ oeuvre, which
includes such styles as realism, tonalism and impressionism. Rocky Mountain
Majesty also features two of the museum’s own paintings, Moraine Park and
Sunset in Colorado, alongside loans from lenders across Colorado.
Rocky Mountain Majesty: The Paintings of Charles Partridge Adams is organized by the Denver Art Museum. The
exhibition is funded by Buntmann & Associates Inc., Julie and Rob Lewis, Kathy and Pat Shaw, Robert and Carolyn
Barnett, Chuck and Charla Rudolph and the Sylvan Stool Family. Additional funding is provided by the generous
donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities
District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The Denver Post.
Spun: Adventures in Textiles
Through September 22, 2013
In Spun, the DAM takes a wide-ranging look at textiles, from pre-Columbian
weavings to modern fiber art, Navajo blankets to an examination of clothing in art
and photography. Drawing on curatorial collections throughout the museum as well
as loans and interactive on-site creations, Spun is campus-wide in scope with a full
slate of programming to complement the various textile art-related exhibitions. A
drop-in textile studio, collaborative projects with artists and creative groups and ingallery components supported by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library
Services encourage visitors to explore this ancient and still-vibrant medium.
The museum’s new textile art galleries and its inaugural show Cover Story are at
the heart of Spun. Whether as warming layers that comfort us during sleep,
decorative furnishings on our walls and floors that enhance our waking hours or
shields providing protection from the elements or evil spirits, textiles are present
throughout all moments of our lives. Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art Alice
Zrebiec has chosen a selection of objects that not only illustrate the exhibition
theme but also display the depth of the museum’s extensive textile art collection,
offering surprising stories about how textiles enhance our lives.
Cover Story will remain on view through April 27, 2014.
Drawing from DAM collections, other museums and private collections, Red, White
and Bold: Masterworks of Navajo Design, 1840-1870, takes an in-depth look at
masterpieces of design created over a 30 year period often considered the
highpoint of Navajo weaving artistry. While Navajo artists have been creating eye
catching textiles since the late 17th century, the middle of the 19th century saw an
explosion of color and design elaboration. Using primarily a limited, but bold, color
palette of red, white and blue, artists created some of the most visually elaborate
designs found at any time in their history.
Spun: Adventures in Textiles is organized by the Denver Art Museum. Funding is provided by PB&K Family
Foundation, the generous donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the
Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Spun education programming is made possible by a grant from the
U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The
Denver Post.

Nick Cave: Sojourn
Through September 22, 2013
Taking visitors on a journey through the imagination of renowned contemporary
artist Nick Cave, this exhibition features approximately 40 new artworks including
more than 20 Soundsuits, for which he has become well known. Cave’s multisensory, immersive installation will transport visitors to a magical world of color,
texture, sound and movement. Nick Cave: Sojourn features a combination of
multimedia elements and performances. Special exhibition ticket required.
Nick Cave: Sojourn is organized by the Denver Art Museum. This exhibition is made possible through the significant
support of Vicki and Kent Logan, U.S. Bank and PB&K Family Foundation. Additional funding is provided by the
generous donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural
Facilities District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The Denver Post.
Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s
Through September 29, 2013
Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s traces the development of Rothko’s work
during the most critical decade of his career. In the early ’40s, Rothko rejected
realism and began a series of abstract works meant to evoke classical myth; in the
late ’40s he created his first color field paintings, the works on which his stature as
one of the most famous American painters of the post-war period rests. The
exhibition also includes paintings by other celebrated abstract expressionists such
as Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock and Clyfford Still, who shared Rothko’s
artistic search. Drawn primarily from the National Gallery of Art in Washington,
D.C.—the largest repository of Rothko’s work anywhere in the world—the
exhibition includes many paintings, drawings and watercolors rarely seen before.
This exhibition continues the DAM’s series of exhibitions that provide insight and
context to the artworks featured in the neighboring Clyfford Still Museum.
Figure to Field: Mark Rothko in the 1940s is organized by the Arkansas Arts Center, the Columbia Museum of Art,
the Columbus Museum of Art and the Denver Art Museum, in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art,
Washington, D.C. This exhibition is funded in part by the Dedalus Foundation. Local support is provided by
Christie’s, the generous donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific
and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4 and The Denver
Post. This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
Nick Cave: Second Skin
Through April 27, 2014
In conjunction with Nick Cave: Sojourn, contemporary artist Nick Cave transformed
Precourt Discovery Hall into a whimsical, interactive environment. Family visitors
can play and watch as Cave’s Soundsuits spring to life through movement and
dance, then decorate the figures in the installation with colorful felt shapes and
animals to complete the artist’s imaginative creations. Second Skin is included with
general admission. Nick Cave: Sojourn requires a special exhibition ticket.
All That Glistens: A Century of Japanese Lacquer
Through October 5, 2014
The 30 artworks in this exhibition reveal the versatility of lacquer as a medium used
by Japanese artists to create containers, trays, plaques, braziers and screens
made by applying lacquer to wood, bamboo, cloth, paper and other materials. A
wide range of techniques are represented, demonstrating how lacquer was used
during the last century to create objects of enduring beauty. The selected artworks
reflect the changing styles and tastes of successive generations of lacquer artists
who produced designs incorporating plants, animals and elements of nature. The
works in the exhibition are recent acquisitions in the DAM’s Asian art collection.
All That Glistens is organized by the Denver Art Museum and supported by the generous donors to the Annual Fund
Leadership Campaign and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
