Is Libeskind’s Museum A Reflection Of Modern Art?

Denver’s recently completed contemporary art museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind, has been causing quite a stir in the city, and some observers see it as an entirely new way to look at art and the space that surrounds it. But others have wondered whether Libeskind’s design overwhelms the art it’s supposed to be highlighting. Marilynne Mason writes that “the controversy surrounding the Hamilton seems misplaced. So much of modern and contemporary art defies the eye and preconceived notions about beauty and truth, and demands that the viewer learn to question, think, and see anew. And so does this new building.”
