Question
According to a 2018 book by William Middleton, a patron of this building declared, “Frankly, I expected color” upon first seeing it. This building’s notoriously poor original skylight stemmed from the more intense light in its final site than at the New York gymnasium where many of the works inside it were made. The southern entrance wall to this building has a black and maroon panel directly inspired by Last Judgment paintings that the artist saw in Italy. This (*) octagonal building was designed by Howard Barnstone and Eugene Aubry after creative differences with original architect Philip Johnson. This building’s namesake committed suicide a year before its completion. One of Barnett Newman’s Broken Obelisks is located outside of this Texas building. For 10 points, name this building next to Houston’s Menil Collection, a nondenominational structure named for a color field artist. ■END■
