Salon du Musée to Feature International Art Luminaries

We are thrilled to announce our expanded alliance with the Denver Art Museum with our signature exhibition, Salon du Musée. Salon du Musée is modeled after the Paris art salons of the late nineteenth century and serves as a public forum designed to promote the exchange of ideas between artists and viewers. The Salon du Musée exhibition will be held at the Denver Art Museum this year as a tie-in to their monumental Fall exhibition entitled Embrace!

Embrace! explores the many possibilities of the new Frederic C. Hamilton Building. The exhibition will show how painting leaves the wall and embraces the space. Eighteen artists will select spaces that take advantage of the building in innovative and challenging ways. Curated by the Polly and Mark Addison Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Christoph Heinrich, this exhibition is sure to be a surprising and enthusiastic celebration of painting and architecture. Featured artists include international art stars El Anatsui, Zhong Biao, Nicola López, Katharina Grosse, Christian Hahn, Dasha Shishkin to name a few. The USA’s own Rick Dula, Matthew Brannon, Kristin Baker, Jessica Stockholder, Lawrence Weiner, John McEnroe and others will also be prominently featured. Embrace! will be on view from November 14, 2009 – March 28, 2010

Salon d’Arts, Inc. and museum curator Christoph Heinrich are inviting Embrace! artists to exhibit a total of eighteen works of art at this year’s Salon du Musée. The Salon exhibition will be a strategically smaller exhibition than years past with the works on view in an intimate gallery in the Hamilton building for three weeks. The works will then auctioned among several hundred museum supporters at the lively Salon du Musée Soiree and Fine Art Sale the evening of November 14, 2009, which also serves as the international preview for Embrace! All net proceeds benefit the Denver Art Museum.

We hope to celebrate these exciting developments with you in November!

Warmest regards,

Natalie Rekstad-Lynn
