Having flown out of DIA several times I have never noticed anything weird. The artwork doesn't really add anything. As for it going over budget and having a perfectly good airport with Stapleton....
I was in third grade living in Aurora (suburb of Denver) when they started building DIA in 1988 so some of the details might be fuzzy. Basically an economic study was conducted in the mid eighties that showed billions in benefits for Denver if the place was built. How they arrived at this flawed conclusion I don't know. The original price tag was set so low just so they could get it approved to be built.
