Now that just about every major airport has its own exhibition space, in-transit passengers can check out everything from Dutch masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer (Amsterdam Schiphol) and photographs of the Fab Four in Rishikesh, India, by Paul Saltzman (Liverpool) to a Frank Stella painting (Seattle-Tacoma)—all while waiting for their next flight.
Sculptor Michele Oka Doner’s terrazzo walkway, with embedded bronze objects inspired by South Florida plants and creatures, at Concourse A has remained a favorite since it was installed in 1995.
This spring, watch for watercolors by Hague School artists such as Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch, Hendrick Willem Mesdag, and Jacob Maris.
The airport’s third runway, slated to open in November, will feature 2 1/2-inch-thick relief work by Denver-based artist Carolyn Braaksma along its embankment walls.
Incorporating video installations, doll-like sculptures, and performance art, the “Shifting Identities” exhibition opening this June will be the first show curated by the city’s prominent Kunsthaus gallery to be displayed here. —Tanvi Chheda
