 | Now at the Macky Gallery: William Rain
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
The Macky Gallery welcomes William Rain's "Wheels," a photographic journey through junkyards, fields, and prairies in search of wagons and autos from a past era. The buckboard and model Ts are returning to nature; embraced by weeds and vines, eroded by wind and rain. Left to the elements, they slowly transform into habits for coyotes, rabbits and mice. They become a part of the wild terrain, history on the landscape. |
 | Highlights of the Collection
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The CU Art Museum will feature highlights from its permanent collection of over 6,000 works, which spans ancient to contemporary art from across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Artists included in the inaugural exhibition include Elizabeth Murray, Diego Rivera, Albrecht Dürer, Jasper Cropsey, George Inness, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Jan Brueghel the Younger, Utagawa Hiroshige, Carrie Mae Weems, and Marsden Hartley, among numerous others.

 | Highlights of the Collection: Charles Partridge Adams Paintings
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The CU Art Museum presents two paintings by the noted Colorado landscape painter Charles Partridge Adams, including a never-before-shown, large-scale painting of Rocky Mountain scenery near Estes Park, titled Sunrise on the Mountains, circa 1920, recently conserved by the CU Art Museum, and gifted to the museum’s permanent collection by the artist’s sons. The exhibition will also feature the more intimate Untitled (Mountain Landscape), circa 1920, which likely depicts Moraine Park. Born in Massachusetts, Charles Partridge Adams moved to Denver at the age of 18 and eventually became perhaps the most prolific and well known of the turn-of-the-century Colorado painters. Receiving artistic encouragement from Helen Henderson Chain, herself a pupil of George Inness, Adams shied away from the grandiose style employed by his contemporaries, preferring to accentuate the emotive in his landscapes and ushering in a long tradition of modernist landscape painting in the Rocky Mountain region. |
 | Highlights of the Collection: Selections from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program Gift
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
In 2008, the CU Art Museum received 156 photographs by Andy Warhol as a gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. The CU Art Museum will premier 112 of the gifted photographs which include Polaroids and gelatin silver prints featuring celebrities such as Martha Graham, Pelé, and John Denver, as well as portraits of patrons, friends, and anonymous models. Included among the gifted gelatin silver prints are also landscapes and interior settings, both rural and urban, which reveal an aesthetic of the banal as well as the transcendental. The photographs provide valuable insight into the artist’s blurring of the distinction between “life” and “art” and his construct of “the celebrity.” The exhibition includes 80 Polaroids and 32 gelatin silver prints taken by the Pop-Art master.
Concurrent Exhibition: Warhol In Colorado, an exhibition featuring screen prints, photographs, record album covers and other works by Andy Warhol, will be on view at The University of Denver’s Victoria H. Myhren Gallery from January 20 to March 13, 2011. Also included are 55 Polaroids and silver prints gifted to the university by the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in 2008.
