Vote Planned on 40-Foot Outdoor Sculpture at Philadelphia's New Barnes Foundation March 2, 2012, 3:27 pm The Philadelphia Art Commission is expected to vote on Wednesday on plans to erect a 40-foot-high stainless steel sculpture by Ellsworth Kelly at the end of a reflecting pool in the garden of the new Barnes Foundation. The art museum, on Benjamin Franklin Parkway in downtown Philadelphia, is scheduled to open in May. The sculpture, called "The Barnes Totem,"" was designed to echo the vertical forms of the red maple trees lining a path to the museum's entrance. Mr. Kelly selected the site in collaboration with the landscape architect Laurie Olin and architects Told Williams and Billie Tsien. The sculpture is a gift to the Barnes and the City of Philadelphia from the Neubauer Family Foundation, whose founder, Joseph Neubauer, is a trustee of the Barnes.
