Where Art Lives
A collection of eight current large-scale artworks is installed across the District, including three significant pieces by Bauhaus legend Herbert Bayer, whose pioneering integration of art, architecture, and landscape exemplifies the concept of art on site, works created in direct response to their physical environment and meant to be experienced in place.
You are invited to explore the District and experience these works firsthand, discovering how each artwork engages with its surroundings and transforms the act of walking through the site into an immersive cultural experience.
Articulated Wall
Designed by Herbert Bayer, the 85-foot tall sculpture is recognized as one of Denver’s major landmarks. The original developer of the Denver Design Center first saw the articulated wall in Mexico City and decided it would be a perfect landmark for the Denver Design Center. The original sculpture was built for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and stands approximately 60 – feet tall. The original artist, Herbert Bayer, was commissioned to build the sculpture exactly like the original, only taller! The sculpture was completed in 1986 and stands 85-feet tall. Shortly after its construction, the “Articulated Wall” was donated to the Denver Art Museum as a part of its three-dimensional outdoor sculpture collection.
