Denver Botanic Gardens opens a world-class Jaume Plensa art exhibit

The Denver Botanic Gardens has launched "A New Humanism," the first U.S. retrospective of internationally acclaimed Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. Commemorating the institution's 75th anniversary, the exhibition features approximately 30 works, including Plensa’s signature large-scale public sculptures, indoor resin figures, and mixed-media works on paper. The show spans three indoor galleries and the garden's outdoor landscapes, highlighting the artist's career-long exploration of the human form, language, and the concept of "invisibility" in art.

Why Jaume Plensa’s New Exhibition at Denver Botanic Gardens Is a Must-See This Summer

Spanish artist Jaume Plensa has opened a major exhibition at the Denver Botanic Gardens, titled *Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism*, which includes both outdoor sculptures and indoor gallery works. The show features iconic pieces like the 11-foot-tall steel sphere "Self-Portrait with Music" and a retrospective spanning from 2002 to the present, including portrait heads, a door inscribed with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and letter-based sculptures. Plensa describes the hybrid setting as a first for him, where children interact freely with the art.
