Gleaming the Cube got nothing on this. Heck, even the Electric Boogaloo steps back to witness.

You do know about the DAM’s Untitled series, right?

Thursday is one of your last chances to see the Clyfford Still Unveiled exhibition before it closes up shop and moves to it’s new building west of the Hamilton in 2010.

This Thursday, January 15th from 5:00 – 7:00 pm enjoy a cash bar and light hors d’oeuvres, and at 5:45 pm a building design update, exhibition walk through and all the conversation relating.

A leader among first-generation abstract expressionists, Clyfford Still is considered one of the most important painters of the twentieth century. But most of his work has not been seen by the public. Still’s estate—which includes 94 percent of his work—was sealed after his death in 1980.

This exhibition features thirteen paintings, including a 1940 self-portrait, several never-before-seen works on paper, and five 1940s and 1950s masterworks that show the evolution of Still’s mature, purely abstract style.

Head on over and get your fill, because it’ll be a little while until you’ll have another chance.
