Last weekend I took a short trip out of town and decided to fly. This was my first visit to our new airport since it opened last fall. To my delight I discovered some wonderful art work before my flight even took off.
The Indianapolis airport terminal has over 30 different pieces of art by 16 different artists scattered throughout the airport. What impressed me most were the large stained glass panels with bold striking color by British artist, Marlin Donlin, the architecture and the mosaic finishes. This is not at all what you would expect in this type of structure.
Along with the art on the walls there are some very nicely decorated floors demonstrating how artwork is integrated throughout the airport. There are of course a few sculptures outside but I did not have an opportunity to see them on this trip--maybe on my next trip.
You can find some art books, exhibition catalogs and local history books and magazine back issues at Nella’s Books and Collectibles.
