A sky-high public artwork is ready for its close-up at Colorado Convention Center more than five years after it was approved as part of a $233 million new wing. The $1.8 million piece, “Mountains and Rivers Without End,” by California artist Cliff Garten, is a 145-foot-long, mixed-media sculpture suspended about 70 feet above escalators and the ground floor in the western-facing wing. It can now be seen from all levels of the convention center — including from above on the mezzanine — and when lit, is visible at night from as far as Speer Boulevard to the west. It’s a major new addition to Denver’s visual fabric, said Rudi Cerri, the city’s public art manager. And it will be large and distinctive enough to show up in the helicopter shots of the city that run during NFL games and other big events.
