Kirkland Museum

This weekend, I visited the Kirkland Museum in Denver along with 4 fiber friends.  I hadn't had a chance to visit this museum since it moved into a new building, next to the Clifford Stiles Museum and the Denver Art museum.  It's a beautiful building, much larger than the one before.

But honestly, no different.

I remember the first time I visited this "collection" and was overwhelmed with the amount of objects.  It felt to me like going to a garage sale where lots of things were crammed into a small space.  And while the new space is much larger and the things are enclosed in glass shelving, I didn't lose the same feeling. 

Vance Kirkland was an eclectic painter.  He is most known for his "dot" paintings which he created while hanging vertically over a canvas.  His studio is part of the gallery.

If you are into decorative art (furniture/dishes/glasses/etc) you should visit this gallery.  I found it too eclectic for my taste, making it hard to see anything with a cohesive view.  But as we all know, art is in the eyes of the beholder!
