Best Sculptor in a Group Show — Established Talent

Pursuits of Passion at Walker Fine Art was technically a group show, but it included what could have been a very large solo focusing on Boulder artist William Vielehr, whose sculptures were installed throughout. The most important Vielehrs were large abstracted figures made of fabricated aluminum sheets; one of Vielehr’s greatest strengths is how he handles the surfaces, making them look like three-dimensional versions of abstract paintings. Vielehr’s been around since the ’60s, but he rarely exhibits in Denver, so this was an unusual opportunity to see his work.
