2012 | Best Historic Show -- Solo

For decades during the first half of the twentieth century, Birger Sandzén, a Swedish painter based in Kansas, spent his summers in Colorado recording the celebrity scenery in photos, drawings and, most famously, paintings. His signature style -- characterized by wild flourishes of brushwork carried out in cotton-candy shades of thick paint -- created a bridge linking post-impressionism to abstract expressionism, and in the process brought that heroic moment in the...

2011 | Best Two-Part Solo

Keeping abstraction new and different has led to the development of neo-modernism, which harks back to the mid-twentieth century but looks thoroughly modern at the same time. That's surely the case with Colorado's own Emilio Lobato, the subject of not one, but two solo shows right now. At the venerable Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, there's Mi Linda Soledad/My Beautiful Solitude, a retrospective of Lobato's work from the early '80s to 2009, while the William Havu Gallery here in Denver...

2008 | Best Addition to a Historic Building

The stately Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is one of the most important buildings in the Mountain Standard time zone. Built in 1936, the concrete-and-black aggregate structure combines Pueblo style with art moderne design, and was unquestionably the high point of architect John Gaw Meem's career. But while the building remained stunning, sixty years after its completion, it was also too small. After a misguided attempt to enlarge it failed, Denver architect David Owen Tryba and his crew...

2006 | BEST OUT-OF-TOWN MUSEUM EXHIBIT

Last spring and summer, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center was dominated by Chihuly, an over-the-top extravaganza that highlighted the career of Dale Chihuly. The survey began with some of the glass master's oldest pieces, from the 1970s, and ended with several hot-from-the-furnaces items. Michael De Marsche, president of the Fine Arts Center, orchestrated the exhibit, which ended up being the biggest hit in the institution's seventy-year history, attracting more than 80,000 visitors.

Old Modern

By Michael Paglia | Thu, January 05, 2012

Between 1908 and 1952, Kansas painter Birger Sandzén spent nearly every summer here and thus became one of the most important artists to have ever worked in Colorado. In the 1920s, Sandzén taught at the Broadmoor Academy, the predecessor to the Co... More »
Sandzen in Colorado presents the collected works of the late Swedish artist

By Michael Paglia | Thu, November 24, 2011

In the history of art in the region, artist Birger Sandzén stands out, and not just because his work routinely fetches hundreds of thousands of dollars — though that doesn't hurt. Rather, it has to do with the high quality of his pieces and the wa... More »
