Before Texas and Tennessee meet on the field this weekend, we’re putting their signature colors head-to-head.

These shades may belong to the same color family, but through a fine arts lens, they’re playing entirely different games. How do artists and designers see these colors?

Swipe to see how the two oranges compare, then tell us how you would describe each one without using the word “orange.”

Please join us in welcoming Anne Klein, a new assistant professor of practice in the Department of Art and Art History.

Klein is a printmaker whose work uses accumulation and biting humor to explore consumer culture, class politics and the power of repeated images. She was most recently the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Visiting Assistant Professor of Art at Colgate University.

This fall, Klein is teaching Intro to Printmaking and intermediate intaglio. Her students are exploring linocut relief printing, copper plate etching, lithography, screen printing and experimental etching techniques. She is also looking forward to working with students in the Riso Room, UT’s student-run Risograph research lab.

Learn more about Klein’s work, her love of collaboration and why she sees printmaking as a puzzle to be solved in our new faculty Q&A: https://bit.ly/4h5Teql

Landmarks is pleased to announce “Floating Landscape,” a major new commission by Maya Lin for The University of Texas at Austin.

The 3,600-square-foot structure marks Lin’s first public artwork in Texas and first commission in the state. Sited on the grounds of the Autry C. Stephens Engineering Discovery Building, a new facility designed by CO Architects for Cockrell School of Engineering - UT Austin, “Floating Landscape” will create a public commons for gathering, movement, and reflection.

The work will be set within a restored meadow designed by Lin in collaboration with Lionheart Places and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. At night, it will glow with embedded LED lights corresponding to the Texas sky on September 15, 1883, the date of UT Austin’s founding.

Opening April 2027 with a public conversation between Lin and art historian Jana La Brasca. Learn more about the project at landmarks.utexas.edu/blogs/new-commission-maya-lin-announced.
