Wandering the Denver Art Museum (The DAM) Sunday afternoon and looking at the various interesting - and often very weird - art pieces in the contemporary art galleries, I had to wonder what ever happened to the $100 million in impressionist paintings donated to the museum by by Frederick C. Hamilton, the retired CEO of the museum. After loaning these priceless paintings to the museum for the Passport To Paris exhibit, Hamilton agreed to donate them to the museum permanently. However, they have never gone back on display, even after several years. Personally, I think they are probably all hanging in the employee lounge, allowing the DAM employees to gaze at them as they munch their lunch. Is that fair or what? I say put them on display now, or else give them back to Hamilton so he can put them back up on the walls of his humble Denver bungalow. Fair is fair, after all.
