Join Carter Foster, in conversation with Stephan Jost, about the life and work of American painter, sculptor, and printmaker Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015), including Austin—the building envisioned by Kelly as a site for joy and contemplation. Austin 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.   

Presented in conjunction with Moments in Modernism.
