William Sanderson's Composition with Fried Eggs

The Denver Art Museum, a private, non-profit museum, is known for its collection of American Indian art. Its impressive collection of more than 68,000 works includes pieces from around the world including modern and contemporary art, European and American painting and sculpture, and pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The museum was originally founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists Club. In 1918, it moved into galleries in the Denver City and County Building, and became the Denver Art Museum.

In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects, opened on October 7, 2006 to accommodate the Denver Art Museum's growing collections and programs.

Denver - Civic Center: Denver Art Museum - George Catlin's The Cutting Scene, Mandan O-kee-pa Ceremony

George Catlin's The Cutting Scene, Mandan O-kee-pa Ceremony was executed in 1832. The young Mandan Indians in this painting were willing participants in the O-kee-pa, a sacred ceremony held to ensure their community's prosperity. During this part of the ritual, the men were suspended by splints inserted into their chest and back muscles (a procedure that, although painful, didn't cause lasting injury). These men would have considered it a great honor to take honor to take part in the O-kee-pa, at the end of which they were recognized as warriors of courage and fortitude.
