Denver Botanic Gardens is hosting the first United States retrospective of Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, whose serene oversized heads sit among the plantings through September 7 in a setting built to be walked rather than viewed from a gallery bench.
Plensa is known internationally for monumental public works, and A New Humanism threads his cast and carved figures through the outdoor gardens and indoor spaces, pairing the sculpture with seasonal blooms.
