If you want to visit an art gallery in New York anytime soon, consider a trip to La Guardia Airport beginning Saturday. That’s the grand opening of its new Terminal B, home to four airlines and interlaced with four sprawling art installations. With three of the four works accessible without a boarding pass, Terminal B just may be the best indoor space for contemporary art — no appointment needed — that the public is welcome to visit in phase one of New York’s reopening. — The New York Times
Journalist Hilarie M. Sheets, writing in The New York Times, takes a look at the newly installed public art works included in a recently completed Terminal B facility at La Guardia Airport in New York City. The airport terminal includes new artworks by artists Sarah Sze, Laura Owens, Sabine Hornig and Jeppe Hein.
The airport expansion, designed by HOK, is part of an $8 billion top-to-bottom renovation and reconstruction of the existing airport site. The airport is due to open to the public this weekend.

I think hanging renderings of the airport like the one pictured in the article about the artwork inside the airport featured in the rendering is an inspired move.
Some images, should you choose not to click through or get ensnared by the NYT's paywall...

Love the mosaic wall. It's delightful.
