History of Denver

The Big Blue Bear Peering Into the Convention Center RoadyGoat

2005

Standing on the sidewalk outside the Colorado Convention Center at 700 14th Street in Denver is a 40-foot-tall, bright blue American black bear on its hind legs, both front paws on the building's glass, peering inside. Its official title is "I See What You Mean," but everyone calls it the Big Blue Bear. Sculptor Lawrence Argent created it for the convention center, installed in 2005 at a cost of about $424,400. He took the idea from a newspaper photo of a bear looking through a window, and the blue color was nearly an accident: he had planned earthy, natural tones until a blue mockup won him over. It has been Denver's unofficial mascot and one of its most photographed artworks ever since. Argent died in 2017. (Sources: Wikipedia; CPR; VisitDenver.)
