Close-up view of the façade of the Denver Art Museum's Kirkland Building (2017), which features International Decorative Arts collections including works from Colorado artist Vance Kirkland.

The radiant eye-catching façade of the Kirkland Building consists of slender vertical bars of terra cotta in a spectrum ranging from bright yellow to deep gold, interspersed with glass bars backed by gold foil (top left and bottom right). The varying widths of the terra cotta bars and the deep shadows in the gaps between the bars gives the façade tremendous texture.
