<strong>2018</strong> BLANTON BULLETIN<br />
Acquisitions—Ellsworth Kelly<br />
Ellsworth Kelly gifted the concept for Austin to the Blanton in 2015, and once the building was realized in <strong>2018</strong>, it was<br />
officially accessioned into the museum’s collection. Building on Kelly’s generosity, and that of the donors who supported<br />
Austin’s realization, the Blanton has actively worked to build on its Kelly holdings to serve as a center for the study of Kelly’s<br />
work now and in the future. Thank you to the donors who have helped deepen and transform this aspect of the collection<br />
through remarkable gifts in the past year.<br />
