So did I. I wondered if it was the same 'artist' or a sister-city ype of thing in coordination with those Olympics. Or, perhaps a Mexico City businessperson built that little area up in Denver.
Designed by Herbert Bayer, the 85-foot tall sculpture is recognized as one of Denver’s major landmarks. The original developer of the Denver Design Center first saw the articulated wall in Mexico City and decided it would be a perfect landmark for the Denver Design Center. The original sculpture was built for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and stands approximately 60 - feet tall. The original artist, Herbert Bayer, was commissioned to build the sculpture exactly like the original, only taller! The sculpture was completed in 1986 and stands 85-feet tall. Shortly after its construction, the “Articulated Wall” was donated to the Denver Art Museum as a part of its three-dimensional outdoor sculpture collection.
I see the Denver sculpture daily on my commute since the trains all go directly by it, so when I saw that Mexico City sculpture I was certain they were connected. Sad that the original isn't being cared for. I wonder if the Denver Art Museum might be able to get the original moved and/or cleaned up/protected.
My supervisor volunteers at the museum and is involved in all of that. so I'm asking her. I actually emailed her the pic the minute I saw it this morning because I thought she might know the connection.
Of the two of them, we now know which one Vlad "the Mad" Putin believes is the girl in their relationship. For a "macho macho man" like #DonaldTrump that's going to hurt. #TrumpNation http://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/05/vladmir-putin-donald-trump/
So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.
