In February 2018, @blantonmuseum opened Ellsworth Kelly's masterpiece—a 2,715 square-foot limestone "secular chapel" with 26-foot double-barrel-vaulted ceilings, granite floors, and stained-glass windows, designed to house a series of abstract paintings on marble and a soaring California redwood "Totem" sculpture—to the public. It was a project that the artist, who died in 2015 at the age of 92, had envisioned in 1986, and had overseen in every detail until his death, two months before construction began. @radius.books has published a superb monograph on the project, featuring double Swiss binding, several deluxe papers, a wealth or archival materials, new installation photography and texts by the Blanton's Simone J. Wicha and Carter E. Foster. "I hope visitors will experience 'Austin' as a place of calm and light," Kelley said. "Go there and rest your eyes, rest your mind." ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @carterefoster⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #ellsworthkelly #austin #ellsworthkellyaustin #kellyattheblanton #artinaustin #atxmuseums #architecture #radiusbooks #artbook⁠ #blantonmuseum https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnNgXHJpQb/?igshid=k49rn3tqoa0e

It's almost impossible to express how wonderful Ellsworth Kelly's last project and only work of architecture is, now that it exists in real time and space. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Gifted as a design concept to the @blantonmuseum ⁠⠀ in January 2015, just one month before the artist's death, the "Austin" chapel was completed in 2018.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A 2,715-square-foot stone building with luminous colored glass windows, a totemic wood sculpture and 14 black-and-white marble panels, the structure is the only building the artist designed, despite Kelly’s lifelong interest in architecture and architectural form dating back to his earliest window studies made while living in Paris in the 1940s. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Envisioned by Kelly as a site for joy and contemplation, "Austin" is a cornerstone of the Blanton’s permanent collection and a new icon for the city in which it stands. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Images here from 'Ellsworth Kelly: Austin,' published by @radius.books with text by @carterefoster⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #ellsworthkelly #austin #ellsworthkellyaustin #kellyattheblanton #artinaustin #atxmuseums #architecture #radiusbooks #artbook⁠⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnMwIBJ0Ym/?igshid=vxyk6zctrj6t

We spend all this time looking for something we can not find. It is hard to find what we are looking for because we do not know what we are searching for. As we look for an idea we do not know we search everywhere and find nothing. Then one day we see, and it turns out, this whole time, we were only looking for the light. @brtitt.reenacting in #kellyattheblanton #time #timeandtimeagain #filmisnotdead #postmodern #art #35mm #colour #poetry #existentialism #philosophy #filmphotography #lomographyfilm #dada #nadadada #riotbread #philosophydontgiveadamn (at Austin by Ellsworth Kelly at the Blanton Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3dg7TAnaSt/?igshid=11k2buszhhsdv
