At the Colorado Convention Center, 14th and California sts., Denver, Colorado
Peering into the Colorado Convention Center, the Lawrence Argent sculpture “I see what you mean” is a 40-foot-tall blue bear that instantly became the Mile High City’s most lovable piece of public art when it was installed in 2005. Argent, a working artist and art professor at the University of Denver, is the mastermind behind a number of other eye-grabbing works of public art in metro Denver, including “Ghost Trolley” at Colfax Ave. and Elmira St. in Aurora and “Virere,” the 20-foot aluminum blades of grass at Broadway and Yale Ave. in Englewood. And if you really can’t get enough of the big blue bear, Argent commissioned two miniature scale models to sell as souvenirs, available at the convention center and the gift shop at the Denver Art Museum.
