PHILADELPHIA—A sculpture by acclaimed artist Ellsworth Kelly is now in place outside the soon-to-open new gallery of the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Inquirer ( http://bit.ly/HFrPW4) says gusty winds Monday that delayed the installation by a day had slackened, allowing the 40-foot stainless steel sculpture called "The Barnes Totem" to be set in place at the head of a reflecting pool on the north side of the building.

The Barnes Foundation opens May 19 in its new location near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The world-renowned collection of Impressionist and Modernist art is relocating from its longtime home in suburban Merion after a long legal battle.

The sculpture was commissioned and donated to the Barnes by the Neubauer Family Foundation.
