Architect Daniel Libeskind’s new addition to Denver’s Art Museum is an abstraction itself. Essentially a pile of geometric forms, it changes its form according to how we approach it. From this angle, the building seems cubistic – particularly after sunset, when most of its beige titanium panels turn blue, while other panels are illuminated in gold.
I worked on this image for some time, changing my vantage point repeatedly until these three forms suddenly “locked” into each other. The image evokes the human values of power, balance, energy, and mystery, all at once. You can see another version of the same concept, made just ten minutes earlier, in my “Buildings” gallery at http://www.pbase.com/image/82040647.
