Austin Building by Ellsworth Kelly

Designed by Ellsworth Kelly, "Austin" is the only building he ever designed and the culmination of his seven-decade career. It is part of the Blanton Museum of Art, whose collections span European, Latin American, and American art, along with 18,000 works on paper. Exhibitions include works by the Haas Brothers and installations focused on European avant-garde art and the Works Progress Administration. The museum also offers public tours, including tours in Spanish, and programs for families and seniors. Events include art talks, live music, and themed activities. The Blanton welcomes students from UT Austin and Austin-area colleges. Its setting connects Kelly's architectural work with the museum's wider art collections and public programming.
