Austin's Blanton Museum reimagines its grounds as a place for a university campus, city and community

The Blanton Museum of Art's renovation highlights its presence at the University of Texas at Austin campus with site-specific installations like Ellsworth Kelly's Austin, 12 new shade structures, and Carmen Herrera's mural.

Carmen Herrera's large-scale mural, Verde, que te quiero verde, frames the entrance to the museum, creating a visual juxtaposition with the surrounding architecture and providing an engaging experience for visitors.

Vanessa K. Davidson, the Blanton's curator of Latin American art, notes the harmonious contrast between Carmen Herrera's mural's precise lines and the loggia's curvilinear shapes, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the newly renovated outdoor space.
