Item Description
Kirkland Museum displays a nationally important collection of 20th-century decorative art with more than 3,300 examples of Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, Glasgow Style, Wiener Werkstätte, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Modern, and Pop Art. A retrospective of Colorado’s unique and important painter, Vance Kirkland (1904-1981), is shown and more than 160 modernist regional artists are represented by more than 600 works.
- Kirkland's Arts & Crafts studio (1910-11) is the oldest commercial art building in Denver and the second oldest in Colorado (after Van Briggle Memorial Pottery in Colorado Springs).
- Kirkland Museum is a National Trust Associate Site in the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios group, the only one in the eight-state Mountain/Plains region. Other artists in the group include Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, Thomas Hart Benton, Charles Burchfield, Grant Wood, N.C. Wyeth, and Charles Demuth.
- The extensive decorative art collection is “the finest survey of 20th century design on view in America today,” according to Peter Loughrey, Director of Los Angeles Modern Auctions and former Director of 20th Century Decorative Arts at Bonhams & Butterfield’s.
- Kirkland Museum is the only place in Colorado to see a good representation of regional art from 1880 to 1980.
