The Buffalo News looked at its home city's ties to a pair of arts exhibitions in Denver at the
Clyfford Still Museum and the
Denver Art Museum.
Excerpt:
On Thursday night in Denver, members of the city’s art crowd got glitzed up in 1950s cocktail attire, made their way to the second-floor galleries of the
Clyfford Still Museum and pretended for a few hours that they were in Buffalo.
The occasion, complete with period-appropriate jazz and hors d’oeuvres, was the sold-out opening of the Still Museum’s "1959: The Albright-Knox Art Gallery Exhibition Recreated," a partial remount of one of the most important art exhibitions in Buffalo’s history.
The show, made up largely of Still’s grand abstractions, is a teaser of sorts for the much larger "Modern Masters: 20th Century Icons from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery," a long-planned
national tour of the gallery's most prized artworks that begins March 2 in the nearby Denver Art Museum.
