Offering a sharp contrast to the Denver Art Museum's flamboyantly angled Hamilton Building, the Clyfford Still Museum's planned $33 million building will be a place of "reflection, refuge and intimacy," design architect Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture said today. Denver Post

looks and sounds lovely. rough concrete galleries will probably work well with still's abstract expressionism.
Very similar to his Contemporary Art Musuem in STL.
Another understated concrete temple to contemporary art.
long way from this study model...
though the project seems pretty reminscent of the palimpsest that is a clifford still painting.
the comments are also pretty hilarious...
"Abstract expressionism has never captured the hearts and minds of the general public, and I can't imagine anyone other than dutiful school children tromping through this $33 million retaining wall."
let's see... two of the best received exhibitions i've been to:
a. barnett newman
b. rothko
in no way would i travel to denver to see libeskind awkwardness, but in a heartbeat, i'd go to see this.
