Description
Envisioned by Ellsworth Kelly as a site for joy and contemplation, Austin is the only building designed by the artist, despite his lifelong interest in architecture. Inaugurated in 2015, this 2,715-square-foot building with luminous colored glass windows became a cornerstone of the Blanton Museum of Art's permanent collection.
Though mostly abstract, Kelly's work is deeply rooted in his love of nature and his close observation of the world around him, and Austin's design elements are no exception. This essay by Carter E. Foster sheds light on how Austin fits with the artist's wider practice.
