Before his death two years ago, artist Ellsworth Kelly gifted the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin with the design concept for his most monumental work—and the only building he ever designed—a 2,715 square-foot freestanding structure named for the city in which it resides. The museum will host an exhibition exploring the concepts of Kelly’s last great work from Feb. 18-April 29, coinciding with the building’s grand opening.
