Gottfried Helnwein's Epiphany (Adoration of the Magi) is a strange takeoff on a traditional New Testament theme in art. The work depicts a Madonnalike mother displaying her baby to attentive Nazi officers, Painted in hyperrealist grisaille with chiaroscuro effects, the work resembles an old documentary photograph made huge. The eerie, sinister overtones are unmistakable. Who is this mother? What do these officers want with her and her child? What kind of official paper might the officer on the left hold in his hand and what might be its result? Helnwein, characteristically, presents us with an ambiguous, haunting image and leaves us to wonder about its meaning... With its huge size, hyperrealist style, and disturbing content, this unsettling work bestows a psychological anxiety accompanied by a strong magnetic pull. Confronting it, we tend to stare-entranced by both its beauty and its seductive, malevolent overtones...

Vicki and Kent Logan
More than 14 years of collecting, Vicki and Kent Logan have amassed a renowned collection of modern and contemporary art and are considered some of the most progressive and active collectors of contemporary art in the world.
In conjunction with the bequest, an immediate donation of $50,000 was made to fund programming related to the opening of the new modern and contemporary galleries in the Museum’s Hamilton Building this fall. Many of the objects from the 2003 donation will be on view in Radar: Selections from the Collection of Kent and Vicki Logan, a temporary exhibition on view at the opening of the Frederic C. Hamilton Building.
“The opening of the Hamilton Building has set the stage to take the Denver Art Museum’s modern and contemporary art program to a whole new level,” said Kent Logan. “Our hope is to have our collection used as a catalyst to expand and enrich the scope of contemporary programming presented on this new stage through insightful in-house curatorial presentation and unique collaborative initiatives with select contemporary art institutions around the world.”
The new Hamilton Building, which will nearly double the size of the Museum, will include more than 17,000 square feet of gallery space and an outdoor sculpture deck dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The third floor atrium space in the modern and contemporary galleries will be named the “Vicki and Kent Logan Modern & Contemporary Atrium Gallery” in recognition of the recent gift.
The Logans credit the Museum’s expansion project, the $61 million dollar endowment commitment by the board of trustees, and added gallery space for contemporary art as the foundation for their continued support of the Museum.
Since 2002, the Museum has had the opportunity to select artwork from the Logans’ private collection for special exhibitions, such as the work displayed in Full Frontal: Contemporary Asian Artists from the Logan Collection that was exhibited in the Museum’s Asian art galleries in late 2003 to early 2004. That exhibition represented artists from China, Singapore, and Taiwan; the paintings and photographs in that exhibition included pieces by Hung Tung-lu, Song Yonghong, Su-en Wong, Yu Youhan, Zeng Fanzhi, and Zhang Huan.
The Logans have helped forge new collaborations within the Denver community including a partnership between the Logans, the Museum and the University of Denver. In 2003, this relationship enabled students at DU to utilize the Logan material for study and education, including exhibitions organized by students and shown at the University of Denver’s Victoria H. Myhren Gallery in 2004.
Kent Logan, a retired investment banker, and his wife Vicki moved their permanent residence to Vail in early 2000 after spending 10 years in San Francisco, where their passion for collecting contemporary art flourished.
The Logans are regularly named in ARTNews’ list of top 200 art collectors. Kent Logan sits on the board of the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver and the Aspen Art Museum. In addition, Vicki is also a trustee of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Full statement from Kent Logan:
“I have always felt that personal relationships play a major role in any important achievement, and this was certainly the case with our gifts to the DAM. Vicki and I cannot express how important Lewis Sharp and Dianne Vanderlip have been in our decision. Having met many museum directors and curators over the past decade, there are none that I hold in higher esteem for their knowledge, professionalism and sincerity. The opening of the Hamilton Building has set the stage to take the Denver Art Museum’s modern and contemporary art program to a whole new level; our hope is to have our collection used as a catalyst to expand and enrich the scope of contemporary programming presented on this new stage through insightful in-house curatorial presentation and forging unique collaborative initiatives with select contemporary art institutions around the world.”
