We went to "The Benini Galleries and Sculpture Ranch" today, in Johnson City. As in LBJ. It was an hour's drive west of Austin and well worth the drive. There was an art gallery with modern paintings and sculptures, but more interesting was the outdoor "Sculpture Ranch" with 150 (or so) sculptures spread around a large hillly ranch. Most of them were for sale, with prices ranging from $1000 - $100,000. We took pictures of a few.
Near the entrance, our approach was noticed by some imperturbable Texas longhorns.
There was a corresponding sculpture.
I called these two "Adam and Eve; Adam armed"
"The Dancers" are available for $8000 each.
The sculptures here were modern art, not classical art. That's good by me.
Some (about 15) of the exhibits moved in the wind. I recorded one:
