Clyfford Still Museum – Denver

FacebookTwitter

Dedicated to the life and art of Clyfford Still, Denver’s Clyfford Still Museum leads you through Still’s early work to his final pieces. Learn about the man, discover the techniques that defined his art, and experience his work firsthand. Leave the museum with a deeper understanding of this important artist, and an appreciation for the legacy he left behind.

Clyfford Still

Still was an American painter and a leading figure in the early movement for Abstract Expressionism following World War II. His innovative techniques and approach to art defined a generation and cemented him as one of the foremost artists of his era.

Always ahead of his time, Still moved from representational painting to abstract art long before his contemporaries had caught on to the shifting paradigm within the art world.

In 2004, Patricia Still, Clyfford’s second wife, chose Denver as the location to receive the majority Still’s collection. His paintings, journals, sketches, notebooks, and archival materials area all housed within the museum. Much of it is available for public viewing, though the archival materials are still being categorized and require an appointment.
