Drawing from the Denver Art Museum’s extraordinary collection of art, this exhibition focuses on how the American West has been depicted from 1830 until today. The exhibition includes 210 items, including both native artifacts and art by artists such as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams and William Henry Jackson. The focal point of the exhibition is how art plays part in the visual culture that shapes our perceptions and myths of the conquest of the West- America’s version of a creation myth. It also sparks an essential dialogue between the European-American view of the Wild West and Native American culture.
