Lewis Sharp Quotations

Kent and Vicki Logan have ensured a strong future for modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum.

I am truly excited about the quality of these three major sculptures, but also about the diversity of contemporary art being acquired by the museum. The range of work, from abstract to pop art to contemporary realism, demonstrate great breadth and significantly enhance the public art program in our area.

After much consideration, it was clear that the safest, most effective way to install the new complex was to limit access for a period of time. We appreciate the understanding of our visitors during this unique time and look forward to welcoming them back to the North Building galleries and introducing them to the Hamilton Building in the fall.

The Hamilton Building is the crowning jewel of the complex. But this is a complex.

The Vail properties are an ideal venue for many of the works in the Logan collection and we are pleased at the opportunity to help manage their exhibition. With the opening of the new Denver Art Museum complex, we have become a more significant regional institution and look forward to extending our outreach to the Vail area.

This gives the foundation direction, programming and a curator for this department, and makes the Denver Art Museum a major museum in the field of modern and contemporary art.

We'll have the numbers. The bigger challenge comes three years after we open. The building has such a prominent presence on the cityscape. Can we create programs that continue to attract people?

It has an equal value to the Hamilton Building.
