A new, road trip-worthy Herbert Bayer sculpture was unveiled recently in Denver, adding to a growing presence for the Bauhaus master and Aspen icon in the capital city.
Titled “Four Chromatic Gates,” it stands 16 feet tall at the Alameda light rail station in the growing Broadway Park development and utilizes several of Bayer’s aesthetic signatures: it is geometrical and functional, its four nested steel rectangles painted in primary yellow, red and white – topped by the tallest in signature “Bayer blue.”
It’s situated prominently in a plaza within the ongoing mixed-use development, just just north of Broadway and I-25. Nearby sits Bayer’s grand, 85-foot-tall yellow “Articulated Wall,” Bayer’s final completed work before his death in 1985.
