    Four Chromatic Gates - 02-25-2024

    Four Chromatic Gates

    Baker, Southwest

    These set of colorful gates are located at the Alameda RTD Light Rail Station. You can see them as…read moreyou pass by either from the train or a car, but you're probably going to want to take a closer look. This work of art began as a wood maquette model designed by Herbert Bayer. He died in 1985 at the age of 85, so he didn't build this actual sculpture. Dan Cohen from D4 Urban, which owns the Denver Design Center & commissioned some of Bayer's works from his grand step-daughter, Koko Bayer. She was involved in making sure Herbert Bayer's ideas were exacted. There are 4 Gates, each painted a different color: yellow, red, white, and the tallest one in signature "Bayer Blue". The tallest gate is 16 feet tall. In a circular perimeter around the gates, there are concrete blocks that serve 2 purposes. One is for seating and the other is to keep maintenance vehicles from getting too close. Bayer was inspired by asimilar "gates" he saw in Morocco when he created the Four Chromatic Gates. In Santa Barbara, CA, there is a Bayer sculpture called "Chromatic Gate". I saw that one in 2020. It is similar to this one, but has six gates colored in yellow, orange, mauve, red, purple, and lastly the "Bayer Blue" for the tallest gate. It consists of the same type of gates, but they are situated differently than these Four Chromatic Gates. If you want to see another Bayer sculpture, check out the Articulated Wall that's not far from here. It's visible from I-25.

    Cowboy Pajamas - 07-04-2022

    Cowboy Pajamas

    Unless you know the precise location of this sculpture, you can easily drive right past it! You…read morecan find it on Champa St. between 17th & 18th Streets. It is set next to the Hotel Registration sign leading to the Residence Inn. Drive by viewing! I couldn't find parking, so luckily, traffic came to a stop and I snapped a quick pic. This is definitely a whimsical piece! It's also a sort of abstract since there's basically only a pair of pants and an odd shaped abdomen with a belt in between. What might be perceived at first as arms are actually pistols. There's no face, arms, hands, nor feet. In summary, this is a cowboy with its guns drawn. Cowboy Pajamas is a solid work made from bronze, weighing three tons! It stands at over 20 feet tall. The sculptor is Sean O'Meallie. It was installed in 2008. Why is this sculpture in front of a hotel? This hotel, the Residence Inn at this address, hosts an Annual Pajama Party fundraiser. The fundraiser benefits and raises awareness for the homeless.

    You will find this little nugget right outside of the Residence Inn, in a small alcove. It is the…read morework of Sean O'Meallie who did the sculpture in 2008. It is starting to show signs of wear and is a bit weathered. It also has some graffiti on it. It is 20 feet tall, weighs about 3,000 pounds, and is made from bronze and acrylic paint. It is rumored to have chosen the Residence Inn as the site of the sculpture because the hotel had hosted has a Pajama Party fundraiser benefiting Denver's Road Home program in the past. It is an interesting piece that depicts a cowboy holding up two side arms. The cowboy has heart shaped balloon hat and what looks like a magnet for legs. It is all on a platform. As I mentioned, it is abstract AF. You have to stare at it for a little while to decipher what it is, a cowboy in pajamas. Anyway, as with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. Even though I passed it a few times since I was staying at the hotel next door. I recommend making this stop part of a larger itinerary or checking it out if you are in the area and/or on your way somewhere else, to maximize your time.

    Articulated Wall by Herbert Bayer - yellow fries anyone?

    Articulated Wall by Herbert Bayer

    Baker, Southwest

    The Articulated Wall is one of those pieces of public art that makes you stop, look up, and wonder…read more Towering high above the nearby industrial landscape, this bright yellow sculpture designed by Bauhaus artist Herbert Bayer stands out with its bold, geometric spiral form. You don't need to spend a lot of time here--this isn't a park or museum--but it's a striking visual landmark that rewards a quick visit or drive-by. It's especially photogenic on a blue-sky day, and it definitely adds a cool, modern vibe to this part of Denver. It won't be for everyone--some see it as just a big yellow tower--but if you appreciate public art, architecture, or hidden urban gems, it's worth checking out. Bonus: there's usually not a crowd, so you can enjoy it in peace.

    My first thought was, "Jenga, anyone?" But then, they looked like somebody played with their…read morefood... stacking French Fries!! This is different sort of art form! The definition of "Articulation" in the dictionary is: "This describes how sculptural figures (and other forms) are jointed:, either how the differing parts of a body merge in a single form, or how separate sections come together." The top portion of this is very yellow sculpture is visible from I-25. I had it in my list of things to see in Denver. After passing by, we got off the freeway and found it outside of the Denver Design Center. This very wall, located here in Denver, is not an original. Herbert Bayer re-designed this 85 foot tall sculpture. He was commissioned to build his first one in Mexico City for the 1968 Summer Olympics. Too bad I didn't know about this when I went to Mexico City back in March of this year! The one in Mexico City is smaller, standing 60 ft tall. Bayer said he wanted this to be viewed while driving by rather than standing next to it. I did both! The sculpture is constructed of 32 pieces of pre-fabricated concrete elements each measuring 41′ x 5′-2″ x 2′-7″. A refueling mast taken from an aircraft carrier runs through the middle of the wall, holding the sculpture together. Two million pounds of concrete were used to create the 85-foot tall sculpture. This wall was dedicated in 1985. Bayer died the same year at the age of 85. This Articulated Wall belongs to the Denver Art Museum. Here, they have about 8,000 items of Bayer's works. They rotate his works. You can even see a miniature sculpture of this wall there. A nickname for this wall is "Fry Stack". Funny thing is that there was really a French Fry eating contest in front of the sculpture ... for art's sake! So, remember, seeing this while driving past it in your vehicle is the intended way to view this sculpture!
