Denver, Colorado: Blue Bear

What's that blue bear doing on the outside of the Colorado Convention Center? Is he threatening to sit on a couple of well-meaning tourists?

Thankfully, no. The late Lawrence Argent was commissioned to provide a little fun to the outside of the building, located in downtown Denver. This (the bear, not the tourists) was the result. The Blue Bear is 40 feet tall. Argent remembered a photo of a bear looking through a window, and he thought the animal might have the same reaction if he went by the Convention Center? "What's going on in there?"

This isn't the best angle of the art work (it must be fun to see from the inside), but it will have to do.
