Exhibitions and Collections - See Schedule OExhibitions and Collections: Each year, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) presents exhibitions that provide a variety of experiences with art, regularly attracting more than 800,000 visitors annually. The Museum's approach to exhibitions celebrates the creativity of individual artists who have made an extraordinary impact, and ignites creativity through programs that provide engaging and interactive art experiences. Among the highlights in 2019:The Denver Art Museum was the sole venue for Rembrandt: Painter as Printmaker, showcasing more than 100 prints plus several drawings and paintings from Rembrandt van Rijn's career spanning from 1625 to 1665.Dior: From Paris to the World surveyed 70 years of the house of Dior's enduring legacy and its global influence. A selection of more than 200 couture dresses, as well as accessories, costume jewelry, photographs, drawings, runway videos, and other archival material, traced the history of the iconic haute couture fashion house, its founder, Christian Dior, and the subsequent artistic directors who carried Dior's vision into the 21st century.Jordan Casteel: Returning the Gaze featured nearly 30 paintings by Denver-born artist Jordan Casteel, who is now based in Harlem, New York. This presentation was Casteel's first major museum exhibition, and provided audiences with a first look at new work by one of the most acclaimed emerging artists working today.Serious Play: Design in Midcentury America focused on creative interpretations of play featuring works from 40 groundbreaking designers, including Charles and Ray Eames, Paul Rand, and Eva Zeisel. This exhibition highlighted for visitors the ways designers' approaches to play and whimsy impacted the way Americans lived, worked, and raised their families in the years following World War II. Eyes on: Julie Buffalohead explored the artist's use of metaphors, iconography, and storytelling narratives in her artwork to describe emotional and subversive American Indian cultural experiences, and often analyzes the commercialization of American Indian cultures.A sampling of other exhibitions offered in 2019 includes: - The Incubation Effect: Nicole Banowetz- Stampede: Animals in Art- The Light Show- Eyes On: Jonathan Saiz
