Why go
The university collection brings Latin American art, European paintings, and modern and contemporary work into one visit. Kelly's Austin offers a different kind of looking from the galleries: its glass, sculpture and marble panels ask you to consider the relationship between color, light and architectural space.
What to look for
- Colored glass casts light through Ellsworth Kelly's Austin.
- A totemic wooden sculpture contrasts with fourteen black-and-white marble panels.
- The collection includes Latin American art and European Old Master paintings.
Useful to know
- Treat Austin as a separate stop within the museum visit, rather than an incidental building on the way out.
- Pair the Blanton with the nearby Bullock for a day combining art and Texas history.
