Which museum in Denver was established to exhibit exclusively the work of Clyfford Still?

The Clyfford Still Museum in Denver was established to exhibit the work of Clyfford Still.

Still was a pioneering Abstract Expressionist who guarded his work closely and became increasingly reclusive later in life. His will stipulated that his collection should go to an American city willing to create a permanent museum devoted exclusively to its care and display. After his death, his widow, Patricia Still, selected Denver in 2004.

The museum opened to the public on November 18, 2011, in Denver’s Golden Triangle Creative District. Its purpose-built building was designed by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture. The museum holds approximately 3,125 works, representing about 93 percent of Still’s lifetime output, along with his archives, letters, notebooks, photographs, and personal materials.

A common mix-up is the nearby Denver Art Museum, which is a large encyclopedic institution with collections spanning many periods and cultures. The Clyfford Still Museum is a single-artist museum, making it unusually focused even within the city’s major arts district.
