About This Piece
Town Where the West Went Wild is an acrylic mural by Colorado artist Stephen Morath, commissioned by the Public Art Program in 1989. In the mural, Morath explored Denver’s development, industry and way of life in the 1980s. This urban portrait reminds us of a specific time and place in Denver’s history, though some of its iconic images no longer represent how Denver has evolved into a progressive, metropolitan city committed to healthy living and environmental sustainability.
