The paintings were basic and kinda boring... didn't keep my attention and was definitely not worth it.

I love a great museum, especially with a beautifully guided structure. I think the layout of a museum contributes so much to the overall experience and understanding of the work you have. Clyfford still did an excellent job at this. The museum exclusively features the work of Clyfford Still. I personally wasn't a giant fan of his works, because I'm not much of an abstractionist, but I won't let that hinder my review of the museum because I think many art enthusiasts would greatly value this life's work. I felt this was an even better experience than the Denver art and definitely suggest it. read more

Clyfford Still Museum - Art Museums Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We are so lucky in Denver to have the Clyfford Still Museum. I can't believe I hadn't written a review even though we try to go at least twice a year. My son's school (C3) had a special 5th grade curriculum that includes five days studying at the museum ending with an art show at the museum. Many of the students painted in the style of Clyfford Still and were all amazing. Every time we visit the museum, it's like an entirely new place. I love that they rotate the collection so regularly. Easy street parking - and such a beautiful building, too. read more

Every time I think about this place all these big expressive words come to mind. Stunning, phenomenal and fabulous are just a few. Don't tell me that you are not into modern art! Instead tell me that you are into creativity and imagination and intriguing design. It's not every day that for $10 you can experience something that you'll remember for years! I think that the introductory video should be mandatory. You'll understand that you're experiencing a one-artist museum which is very unusual. You'll understand that the building itself is a work of art and worth studying all by itself. You'll understand that his work is displayed as a progression over time. You'll understand how much effort went into designing the lighting and much more. You need to get past thinking that you're going to stroll around looking at pretty pictures. When you find yourself standing in a gallery and experiencing emotions that surprise you, you've got it! read more

My cousin and I came here for a fundraising event and we are so glad that we did! It's a smaller museum right next to the Denver Museum of Art so it could be hard to miss. Actually, I know it is because I've walked by a few times and didn't notice. Shame on me! Don't let their hidden "quietness" fool you, once inside it is, ok well, still quiet. It's a museum! It's so serene and perfectly laid out to showcase the exhibitions that I almost missed the beauty of the building itself. Even though it isn't a modern house, the interior is so well planned, it's impossible not to notice. This makes it impossible not to completely immerse yourself into the art. I'm not sure how they found so much space to showcase exhibitions but it manages to perfectly. I didn't see it myself, but apparently there is even. A workspace on the main floor that looked incredible. I walked by it but the doors were shut. I went for "Shade" by Marshall Bradford and it was truly one of the better exhibitions I've been to at a modern art museum. I've been to quite a few and this one is nothing shy of incredible. Our tour guide was engaging, friendly and not pretentious in any way. She even had us talking to each other! That's a new one for me! I can't wait to see what else they showcase because it is really a must-see if you are in the area. Even if you aren't a huge modern art fan, go. I promise you'll enjoy it!!! read more

Clyfford Still demanded a museum dedicated to his work and he found it in Denver. The building itself is gorgeous. It was built by Allied Works out of Portland, with Brad Cloepfil heading up the team. I could spend an hour admiring the structure and the open latticework above. I'd love to visit in the warmer months, so I can daydream on the many outside terrace spaces. The paintings run the gamut of his career but are mainly focused on the abstract expressionist period. The museum owns nearly 95% of the artist's work, and the almost 2,500 pieces are rotated to offer different views of the huge collection. read more

From the perforated concrete natural light ceilings, to the incredible ever-changing collection of Clyfford Still's amazing body of work- this is world class museum honoring a world class trailblazer in abstract expressionism! Enter the museum and enjoy the video that sets the stage for your visit- a brief history on Clyfford Still, on the museum, and the museum architecture. Follow the paths and go through Still's evolution in a semi-chronological order. Roll with it- the lay out makes sense in an abstract way. Enjoy the large large works displayed in large airy rooms. The cool perforated roof automatically adjusts to let in the perfect amount of light. How state of the art... This museum will take you a couple hours and is worth a visit! read more

There's a lot to love about this amazing collection from American master abstract expressionist Clyfford Still. First, the collection is ordered from his early works to his later pieces. The earlier works were more representational and reflected his love for painting machinery and distant landscapes. As he matured, his work became more monumental and abstract, but you can see the original forms in his later canvases. The galleries themselves are spectacular, intimate cathedrals to his pieces. I'd say there are about 6 separate galleries upstairs which feature the modern, contemplative canvases. For the later pieces, each wall will feature one of the giants. Second, the building itself is a design masterpiece in cast concrete. The undulating textures and rough surfaces mimic the work of Still himself. It's a new building. Downstairs there are storage areas for many of his unshown pieces, and it's kind of awe inspiring to know how many more there are and that you could come back in a few months and see different works. Theres a nice video interactive exhibit on the first floor as well which tells about his history. There are even letters he wrote to museums and art magazines which make his intellect plain. Lastly, there are the very helpful people who work here behind the entrance at the desk. I learned during my visit that Still left his wife with the task of finding a suitable city to house his museum. She considered many, but ultimately worked with the surprising choice of Denver because technically the city where the museum was built would become the owner of this priceless collection. I highly recommend this place for anyone who likes modern abstracts. The pieces gave me chills. read more

The evolution of Clyfford Still's paintings was incredible. How it went from super detailed to so abstract. How he got rid of the paintings names and just numbered all the paintings. Truly fascinating to see the evolution and magnitude of the paintings. Bring your own headphones if you're phone is new and doesn't have a audio jacks (they offer headphones at the start of the exhibit). There is an audio track that goes along with the exhibit. read more

Wonderful and interesting museum. The building itself is just as much a work of art as the art itself. Very cool story too about how the collection made it to Denver and why the artist wanted it to all stay together. Interesting to see an artist's work across different periods of his life. Take a look on a lazy afternoon and you won't be disappointed. read more

Clyfford Still Museum - Gallery - Art Museums Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Clearly I'm in the minority on this one but with the exception of his depression era works, I found the museum disappointing. Based on reviews here, I expected to spend a little under two hours here. My total visit lasted fifteen minutes. Artwork: I loved his depression era works. The landing and the first gallery you come to on the second floor make this museum worth a visit. His take on that time period evoked intense feeling for me that I hadn't anticipated. The pieces are very moving and really ring that period to life. There's also a great quote from Still above the work, it basically said that he didn't feel sorry for the men and women of that time because of their strength to handle whatever they faced. A must see gallery for any art lover. However, with the exception of one coloring drawing, I didn't get anything out of the rest of the galleries. Random colors painted on a large canvas isn't "art" in my opinion. For me, there was a disconnect between Still's depression era work and what he later focused on. He refused to name or even describe what his work meant to him, preferring the viewer to find their own meaning. In theory, this is a good concept but it just came off as lazy for me. To each their own, hence the three starts, not two. Concept of Museum: There's a really good video when you walk in that gives you biographical information about Clyfford Still and describes the approach to the museum design. He believed in displaying only one artist's work, rather than showing it next to other works of the same style. The result is museum that allows you to see the artist's development over time, which is interesting in itself. Cost of Admission: If you're a fan of his style (look at the pictures here), the $10 cost of admission in reasonable. If you are simply interested in exploring the gallery, but favor other styles, I highly recommend getting the Mile High Pass. The Mile High Pass allows admission to most/nearly all of Denver's main attractions for $30. Given the extremely short amount of time I spent here, the pass cost made this a good experience. I ended up Building: I really like architecture and the building, both inside and out, is really interesting. The cement wall in the room with his drawings in really cool. Staff: The woman at the front desk was very nice and help (3/18/18 around 1 pm). There were hardly any people there and I had no issues with feeling overly watched by the guards. Overall: Worth a quick visit. Take the time to read the information in each room. The curator did a very good job describing each space and explaining Still's approach/transition. It's virtually connected to the Denver Art Museum and across the street from the new Kirkland museum (which is fantastic). I highly recommend taking a day/half day to see all three. read more

I've never been much for abstract expressionism. A lot of abstract art leaves me cold, but there was something about the art of Clyfford Still that intrigued me and made me want to see his museum. So, after spending the best part of a day at the DAM, and a very pleasant late lunch at Palettes (both reviewed separately) my husband and I walked around the corner to the CSM. The building itself is a work of art, even more so than Daniel Libeskind's Hamilton building at DAM (though not as extreme). It's a very serene environment - perfect for Still's work. After getting our tickets we watched an introductory six minute video, then took off to explore the collection. We were there during the exhibit that focused on his works on paper - small scale drawings, pastels, etc ... which was kind of a disappointment. The works on paper were very nice, especially when hung in groups, but I really wanted to see those monumental, immersive canvases. But it was not to be. I'm still undecided as to what I think about his artwork, but the architecture of the building gets nothing but praise from me. Perhaps I'll return some day and get a better idea of what his artwork was about when I can experience those large scale canvases. read more

Each year I become more fixated on "intention"; on being intentional and appreciating deliberate behaviors. This place did not disappoint. My boyfriend was flying out of town on Friday, which offered me a chance to take advantage of the SCFD-possible free night. The very first thing that caught my attention was the entrance door. It is camouflaged by the same wooden rods that cover the surrounding surface of the building, which I thought was interesting since many places try to draw attention to their doors. I entered to be greeted by two lovely hostesses who pointed me in the right direction. The video about Still that they suggested I watch was not enough to keep my attention, but that may be because it was a long day at work and the last thing I wanted to do was sit in front of a screen. From the first floor, with map in hand (I point that out because the map came in handy later on) I meandered through the chronological halls of Still's life. The next detail that I most appreciated was that the major descriptions of his work were printed right onto the wall--no paper, no frame, just writing on the wall. Luckily I stumbled upon a few private tours so I got to hear some special facts about the architecture of the building, like how the perforated ceiling has different levels as to avoid weird lattice-shaped shadows. I also sat down for a moment to try my hand at the GORGEOUS wooden puzzle that was for sale for a mere $300-some dollars on the first floor. All in all, I was blown away by how much thought was placed into this museum. There was so much consideration paid to both honoring Still's life and legacy, and the experience of the museum-goer. I'm excited to take my boyfriend on another Friday eve. read more

We completely lucked out to be able to visit this museum on a free day. Although now having been there I would pay double to go back to this museum. I also want to start by saying that if you think you like art but are intimidated by large fancy art museums then this is a great place for you to begin. Being that this museum is focused on one artist, they do an amazing job of walking you through the life of Clyfford Still and the transformation and growth of his art over time. The narrative is well done, and the art is stunning to look at. The museum itself has a truly great flow from piece to piece and tells such a good story. I found myself wholly immersed for a time in this man's growth as an artist, and really learned a lot about abstract art that I can also apply when I look at other paintings. I also think this museum did an excellent job in general building design: it's very minimalist/brutalist/Midcentury and makes an excellent house for this mid-century artist's work. I would recommend this idea over the Denver Art Museum next door any day. What a wonderful space! read more

Fantastic space created to display one of the best abstract artists I've seen before, they change their display seasonally and it never disappoints! Very tasteful and you can tell the employees care about the culture behind the artist read more

We live in a world where "curate" is one of the top buzz words used, likely on a daily basis, in marketing and PR. Clyfford Still Museum was curated before it was hip. A unique collection of modern art and personal effects from one of the most prolific minds of the 20th century. $10 admission for adults gets you access to multiple large scale works from the artist as well as a library of information about Clyfford Still's life and career. The space itself is unique and a piece of art in itself, with a cement ceiling and cutout skylights on the roof. Who knew that a structure made of stone could feel so light and inviting? A fun way to spend an afternoon in Downtown Denver. read more

I'm an art novice and I completely admit to it! I may be a novice, but I know what I like and I like Clyfford's work. I enjoyed seeing the progression of his work throughout the space and see how he expanded and his vision changed over time. I loved his modern works and how his my recent work was organized by color, the red room, the white room, the black room, the yellow room and my personal favorite was the blue room which had my favorite piece of the day - a magnanimous dark blue abstract the height and width of a small house. The use of color and his strokes are beautiful and tell a story and emotion. A close second for favorite piece of the day was one I like to call Birds, felt very airy and light and looked like lots of birds flying, another large scale piece that spoke to me, I couldn't stop looking at it. In addition to the outstanding art the bonus here is the architecture of the building that adds to the beauty of the art collection. The building plays with concrete texture and space. Lots of natural light from the outside and little hide away areas outside that are somehow still private based on the unique architecture. Go with someone that enjoys art and can help tell you the story and have conversations as you enjoy the day together, it makes the experience so wonderful. An important thing to note is that they are constantly rotating his art to show case all of his pieces so you can keep coming back and having unique visits. I'm looking forward to returning to enjoy some more of Clyfford's art. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while now and last weekend was finally the day to do it! After viewing the Modern Masters exhibit at the DAM, we headed over to the Clyfford Still Museum as it was covered in our DAM ticket prices. Score! Not that the normal $10 ticket fee would scare me off for a future visit... Clyfford Still left around 3000 pieces for an American city to host his paintings. It took a while for any city to take up the offer, but Denver decided to go for it. And I'm so glad that our beautiful city did! While I didn't care for Still's earlier works, I really appreciated seeing how his craft evolved into the abstract pieces that most of us are familiar with. The museum is relatively small, but packs a punch. I'm really excited that it houses so many paintings; i'd imagine you could visit every few months and see something new! The Clyfford Still Museum is a nice escape from the crowds of the DAM. I'll be back in no time. read more

I'm not the biggest Clyfford Still fan. Full disclosure, I'm a Rothko gal through and through. I'll take intense washed-out subtlety to stark camouflage blotches any day. But the five year anniversary of the museum came with free admission and I can't say no to free art. Since a lot of the big-scale paintings are currently on loan to somewhere in Europe, the exhibits right now focus on his smaller scale drawings and paintings in gouache, water color, oil, pastels, etc. And these, I like. If you're into an artist's process, experimentation, and development, now would be the time to get acquainted with the Still's work. I like seeing the different media and scales and sketchy, hesitant marks that remind us that even the Greats were plagued with self-doubt and existential crisis. Yea. You're not the only one. So there's the art. Now the architecture. The building really does it for me. It's elegant, textured, contemporary, welcoming, and during warmer seasons, there's a little second floor balcony/terrace to escape to. Great through-lines so you can see into the galleries you'll eventually get to (particularly nice for us socially anxious types). The first floor has visible storage (huge paintings on moveable walls) as well as some artifacts from Still's studios (old LPs, jars filled with dry pigment, etc.). Well worth a quick walkthrough. If the museum keeps bringing out fresh, never-before-seen, less-known works, I will keep coming. read more

Interesting building in the shadow of Denver Art Museum, full of artwork by American abstract expressionist Clyfford Still. If you are an architecture fan it is a great stop, I didn't know much about Clyfford Still but enjoyed the artwork. Not a huge museum, maybe 1-2 hrs would be enough for most people to take it all in. read more

Clyfford Still Museum - Art Museums Near Me - Denver, Colorado

OBNOXIOUSLY RUDE ATTENDANTS! Garbage. Museum attendants harassed my group for our entire visit. I know how to respect art from a distance, but I was apparently caught on camera touching one of his paintings. The attendants accused me of touching his paintings because I was 'closer than arms length'. Following this, my group and I were followed for the remainder of our trip. Between their headsets the attendants were talking about my group and watching us like a hawk. If you want to feel very unwelcomed, unappreciated, and treated like a child then I would highly recommend visiting this museum! The museum itself was beautifully designed to showcase his amazing artwork, however I will not be returning and would not recommend to anyone because of the mistreatment inflicted upon me. read more

In town visiting for the first time and I enjoyed this museum so much. Affordable price and you get to learn all about Clifford Still before you go upstairs to really experience his work.

Attended the special event for members Friday. What a glorious place to view the prepping for the parade of lights vehicles. The Clyfford Sill is a magical museum. It's funny to hear comments from non-abstract art lovers. I totally get the first impression comments. My best advice is to not take it too serious. Enjoy the awesomeness of the colors and massive size of the paintings. The history of the artist is interesting. He was an arrogant eccentric. I understand his daughter divulged a ménage a trios; Still, his wife and an art student. That or the story was concocted to get men interested in the art. It is one of two most unique museums in Denver. My favorite is the Kirkland. Close by on Pearl abt. 13th. I love that the Still is directly across from the Byers Evans house. Ann Evans was one of the founding members of the Denver Art Museum. This area is ground zero for the Arts!!!! Parking tip is the meters on Acoma good for 5 hours. The surface lots are full of glass and other hazzards. read more

This is a beautiful space and a museum I'd been wanting to check out for quite some time. Thanks to Frances, I was able to view the museum and learn much about this acclaimed artist and his works on our private, guided tour. I believe having the tour helped to put the artist's works in context. Otherwise, just viewing abstract art, for me, might look like blobs of paint. :-) Jennifer was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable about Clyfford Still, it made the tour so interesting. She brought an energy and passion to art, that she held my attention and made it fun and accessible. If you've never been before, the collection is upstairs, in a circle, so you can never get lost. I love that! There's a (free) coat check and lockers (for a quarter) to place purses or other items for safekeeping, if needed. The staff was helpful and you're even permitted to take pictures of artwork, should you like, with a non-flash camera. I'm now looking forward to visiting the museum again and checking out the collection, as it rotates. read more

Love this museum! We came with a Yelp event and had a private tour from Jennifer. She was just awesome! She was able to talk at great length, describing the life and times of Clyfford Still. She fervently explained how his background influenced his art, and her undeniable passion about the subject matter was contagious! Her talk was very informative and we enjoyed her greatly. Now, not all of the art is to everyone's taste, and I probably would not have enjoyed the experience as much if it weren't for Jennifer's passionate exposition; but both the building and the artwork it houses are a treasure and I am very glad this museum is here in Denver! read more

I'm a little worried that my somewhat apathetic opinion about Denver's newest museum is going to make art geeks everywhere judge me (yeah, I have an art degree too so don't write me off that easy). In my opinion, Stills had an ego bigger than the building. He vowed to donate his body of work in entirety to any city that would build a museum specifically for him. Then mayor, Hickenlooper pursued the collection and spearheaded the new massive building adjacent to the Denver art museum. So I'm not sure if that makes Denver lucky or the biggest sucker; after paying $10 for what is a relatively limited collection, I'm going to say the latter. Stills is best known for his modern abstractionist paintings, some in massive proportions. If you like modern art, which I do, it is an excellent collection but somewhat lacking variety as you can assume any building of one artist alone might be. Frankly, the highlight may be the building itself constructed of glass and concrete. The open atriums and sharp corners highlight Still's style. The rooms are small enough to not feel cold and there are several terraces to step out into the fresh air. If you're an architecture fan its a great building. All in all, I'm glad I went but think it may be over priced compared to other galleries, collections, and museums in Denver. At $10 a person, or utilize a $1 discount online, the museum does not contain enough variety to make it a place I want to make more than one trip to. read more

It is as much as it is art, available for the masses, i love that. But that is as far as it goes for me. I've visited a couple times, generally through events that make it free. (yelp event, wedding, free days...) The art though. Totally not my style. I just don't get it, splotches on a giant canvas... meh. I know, art is in the eye of the beholder. The location is pretty, nice space in the lobby, The different galleries are well laid out, spacious and with good lighting. If it's your type of art - check it out. If you aren't into modern, i'd say skip the entrance fee or use the deal they sometimes have to use your museum of art ticket for a discount. read more

Denver, I don't know how we got so lucky. It is an honor and a privilege that we have the Clyfford Still Museum in our fair city. NYC and LA, eat your heart out! The collection of paintings, letters, archives, and specialized research rooms contained in this museum rival that of more well-known art cities. Denver, apparently, has moved up a notch or two. . . Clyfford Still had a general distaste for the art world. I recommend starting on the first floor and reading the timelines, letters, and reviewing his personal affects on display. He is wildly articulate and cynical in his letters to Clement Greenberg and dealer Betty Parsons. Reading these sets the stage as you ascend to the second floor to see the collection. Much of his early figurative work has never been seen before, especially in juxtaposition to his seminal abstract work. There are two rooms containing his depression-era figures which quickly demonstrate his transition to abstraction. In less than two years ('36-'37) he moved from figurative to the totems and craggy profiles which would continue throughout his career. Gradually, each room reveals larger, more elaborate abstract work. As a viewer, you have adequate natural light and somber, minimal space to appreciate his work. Each room has been well designed to allow you to appreciate the size and scale of each work without the interior space upstaging the paintings. There is just enough space inside the museum to feature a considerable amount of his work with the understanding that there is much more in the collection available for display. read more

Visited the museum on a whim several months ago and so happy I did. The story of how the museum ended up being in Denver is incredible. The exhibit itself is spectacular. I never appreciated abstract expressionism until I visited the Clyfford Still museum. The exhibit was astonishing. The paintings are fascinating in their detail and the build ing itself is a work of art. Staff was welcoming, non-intrusive and admission is only $10. I've return several times just for the experience. This is a must visit spot for anyone. read more

What a gorgeous building. If you like mid-century, brutalist, mod, whatever you want to label it - ART - this is the perfect museum. They have a ton of his work, so they rotate the art seasonally.

Just Google it. read more

I am going to open by saying that I am not generally a modern art fan. Feel free to judge, but I believe that sharing this adds some depth to my review. This is easily one of the best set ups for a museum I've ever encountered. I recommend watching the orientation video (found in the foyer on the first floor) to get a feel for Still and then to meander to the left and check out some of his letters/belongings and the interactive timeline (overheard described as " the biggest iPad ever" by another patron) that provides context for Still's life (He was born in 1904 and died in 1980; I can only imagine what it would have been like to live through 2 WWs, the Depression and modern life, but I digress.) and then to head up to the second floor. We happened upon a display of Still's work that demonstrated the influence VanGogh had on Still, which was timely after recently seeing the VanGogh exhibit at the DAM(I'd highly recommend this combo). In several rooms there were iPads comparing some of VanGogh's specific works with Still's. Fascinating. It truly was an interesting angle and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The building itself, as other have mentioned, is stunning (I'm also not a fan, generally, of modern architecture, so saying this is a reach for me). The way the ceiling is designed, in particular, allows for gorgeous natural light and the way the floor plan is laid out allows one to see paintings in different rooms at the same time, which provides interesting opportunities for comparison. It truly showcases the large, colorful canvases beautifully. Not sure I'll return, because $10 is a little steep for art I'm not totally enthralled with (though I did enjoy it more than I thought I would), but I would definitely say it's worth a glance. If this lover of all things classic found some treasures at the Still Museum, I am sure you will too! read more

Just visited for the first time today, and I gotta say, the guided tour by Jennifer was FASCINATING! The energy and passion she conveyed in her presentation was practically contagious. I especially liked the exhibitions on conservation work; I could have spent all day looking at how the paintings aged and what the conservators do to respectfully restore the artwork to the artist's intent. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Admission for students is $6, and there's a great station for creative activities which is included. Since it's a smaller gallery, it's an easy way to teach kids (or amyone with a shorter attention span, lol) about abstract art while giving them a way to apply what they've learned. This is a really great low cost tag along for the Denver Art Museum! read more

The clyford still art museum is a small gallery next to the Denver art museum and prominently feautures most if not all of his work. As you walk in you are greeted by a friendly admissions hostess and given a brief summary, then you are allowed to paruse at your leisure. I found this museum to be sparse yet full at the same time. As you learn the history and timeline of the artists life, from his birth in a very rural part of North Dakota in 1909 to his death in Maryland in 1980, you can't help to be drawn in to his life's history, his daily struggles, his day to day voyage on the sea we call life. As you walk through the museum you start with the start of his artist career when he was a teen in the 1920s. During this time period, you can see the makings of a fine young art student taking root in the art community. As you pass along the different rooms you can see how the changes in his life affected his painting style. If you're into art culture, then this is definitely a place to see. read more
