The Clyfford Still Museum was designed by the leading architectural practice Allied Works and its founder, Brad Cloepfil. The building creates space for the voice and artistic vision of American painter Clyfford Still (1904–1980),
housing the vast majority of his creative output over a sixty-year
period. The museum's design is inspired by the work of Still and by its monumental context: the site is located at the intersection of prairie and mountains, within an urban district of major cultural buildings, vacant lots, historic housing, and new development. The building looks to the earth as a source of silence and profound connection to the elemental forces the artist explored through his painting.
This publication presents the vision and realization of the museum from initial concepts to completion. A rich collection of stories, artifacts, documents, and conversations trace the evolution of the building and Allied Works' unique creative process. New essays and photography examine its significance within contemporary architectural discourse and the singular experience of the completed work.
克里福特·斯蒂尔美术馆是由建筑事务所Allied Works及其创始人布拉德·克洛普费(Brad Cloepfil)设计的。该建筑为美国画家克里福特·斯蒂尔(Clyfford Still)(1904-1980)的声音和艺术视野创造了空间,收藏了他60年来的绝大部分创作成果。美术馆的设计灵感来自于斯蒂尔的作品和其不朽的背景:该场地位于草原和山脉的交汇处,在一个由主要文化建筑、空地、历史住房和新开发的城区内。该建筑将大地视为沉默的源泉,并与艺术家通过其绘画探索的元素力量有深刻的联系。
本出版物介绍了博物馆从最初的概念到完成的愿景和实现。丰富的故事、文物、文件和对话的收集,追溯了建筑的演变和Allied Works的独特创作过程。新的文章和摄影作品审视了它在当代建筑论述中的意义和完成后的独特体验。
