Official Public Opening: Ellsworth Kelly's "Austin"

The Blanton celebrates the opening of that monumental new building, Ellsworth Kelly’s "Austin," with remarks by museum director Simone Wicha and Hizzoner Steve Adler and music by the Texas Longhorn Band and – oh, a lot of pomp for the circumstances. And the work itself? Colored glass windows, a totemic wood sculpture, and 14 black-and-white stone panels in marble and granite? The rainbow's been bound by Euclidean sorcery and now light itself divulges a polychrome hosanna from angels in the secular architecture.
