Mid March I flew to Houston (my hometown, left there in 1984) to visit a friend. Coming from the desert still shrouded in brown of winter, the startling green greeted me.

We visited the Menil Collection and the newly opened Menil Drawing Institute with a stunning exhibit of Roni Horn's drawings. https://www.menil.org/exhibitions/297-roni-horn-when-i-breathe-i-draw-part-i

The architect is Johnston Marklee.

Of course we spent time in the Menil Collection. Their Alaskan art collection is wonderful.
