Shortly bevor his death, American artist Ellsworth Kelly gifted to the Blanton Museum in Austin
the design concept for his most monumental and perhaps most important work, a stone building
with luminous, geometrically arranged colored glass windows, a totemic wood sculpture, and
fourteen black and white marble panels. Titled Austin, honoring the artist's tradition of naming
particular works after the places for which they are destined, the structure is the only building the
artist ever designed, although his interest in architectural forms dated back to his beginnings in
Paris in the 1940s. Envisioned as a site for joy and contemplation, Austin has become the city's
new landmark. Ellsworth Kelly: Austin documents the works lengthy genesis, from Kelly's first
drafts up to its completion on today's site. A comprehensive Essay by Carter E. Forster, the
Blanton Museum's deputy director for curatorial affairs and curator of prints and drawings,
presents archive material, drawings, historic photographs, and many works by Kelly created
during the conceptional work on Austin.

German painter Karin Kneffel is a major exponent of 21st-century Neorealism. Her lush and
eloquent pictures are perfectly constructed impossibilities. Collapsing heterogeneous places and
incidents in a flawlessly executed, seductively realist manner they highlight painting's unique
ability to simultaneously uphold and destroy illusions. Exhibition catalogue. With a text by Marion
Poschmann. Forewords by Frieder Burda and Christoph Grunenberg. Interview with the artist by
Julia Voss.
