BILL AMUNDSON TAKES THE STAGE AT THE DAM NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR A HISTORIC LOGAN LECTURE



Next week is going to be one of the most entertaining of the year as Plus Gallery artist Bill Amundson makes his way back to Denver for two great events. First up is his Logan Lecture at the Denver Art Museum on Wednesday evening, November 28th.  Following on the heels of Dana Schutz and her terrific lecture should be no problem for Bill, he is one of the most fun and engaging speakers in the world of art. This is the second year that the series has featured a Plus Gallery artist, we could not be more thrilled for the recognition of the talent within our program and the opportunity for the museum and in particular the DAM Contemporaries to put them in such a prestigious community spotlight.  Get your tickets online now and join us next Wednesday evening.









Amundson works in the permanent collection of the DAM, left to right: "Nervous Patriot," "Teen Excavation," and "Self Portrait with Pricey Mountain Homes"

Also set for next week is a small showcase of recent works by Bill in our upstairs viewing space to coincide with his 60th birthday this January.  In addition to his recently completed, absolutely mind-blowing drawing "In the Valley of the Job Creators," we'll be presenting an assortment of new self portraits including "Bad Discovery II," "Sixty And Loving It! (Annotated Version),"  I Saw The Figure Sixty In Gold (Thinkin' Positive)" as well as the intellectually, artistically profound "Beaux Arts Nude With Penis Remote."  We'll host an opening reception and fun-filled event next Friday evening, November 30th.....see below for more details.
