View of the Blanton Museum’s iconic “petals” with the Texas State Capitol in the background.
The Blanton’s entrance space is home to two large-scale art installations. Stacked Waters, created by Teresita Fernández in 2009, consists of 3,100 square feet of custom cast acrylic covering the walls in a series of horizontal blue bands. Siphonophora (2016), a sculpture by Thomas Glassford that was inspired by marine organisms, hangs in the middle of the room.

This afternoon, I made my first trip to @blantonmuseum.bsky.social. It will probably take some time to sort through all the photos from my visit, but here are a few highlights…
