The Blanton has the largest and most comprehensive collection of art in Central Texas. Our collection has more than 21,000 objects with expertise in modern and contemporary American and Latin American art, Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings, and prints and drawings. It includes several iconic large-scale works like Austin by Ellsworth Kelly, Stacked Waters by Teresita Fernández, and Verde, que te quiero verde by Carmen Herrera. 

From the major exhibitions presented twice a year in our ground-floor Butler Gallery to the special themed presentations that bring artworks out of the vault for display in the second-floor galleries, there’s always something new to see at the Blanton.
