After the artist’s death in 1980, the Clyfford Still Estate was sealed off from public and scholarly view. Still’s will stipulated that his estate be given in its entirety to an American city willing to establish a permanent museum dedicated solely to his work, ensuring its survival for exhibition and study. Denver was selected as the recipient city and in 2011, The Clyfford Still Museum was built in a visually stunning space designed by Portland, OR, based Allied Works Architecture specifically to display his work. The museum owns 95% of the artist’s creative output and the archives are home to studio records, photographic materials, personal effects, the artist’s tools and materials, his personal library, and extensive documentation pertaining to the art, career, and life of this important American artist. Join Museum Director Dean Sobel for a guided tour of the museum galleries and a behind-the-scenes look at the archives and conservation areas.
