Collage created by LocalGuide @jayasimha78 using art pieces pictures shot in SFO
I recently flew from San Francisco to Bengaluru through Singapore airlines. I had some extra time in the airport and decided to explore the Terminal G. Even though I have flown out of SFO many times, I hadn’t paid attention to art pieces and observation deck which exists in International Terminal.
Interestingly there is a huge art piece is hanging at each gate in SFO.
At the end of Terminal G there is a observation deck. Even though you may not be able to see flights landing or taking off from here, you can definetely enjoy planes taxing back and forth to the gate. There are several benches and also they have installed sculptures in the observation deck.
Here are couple of Sculptures in this observation deck.
Artist: Woody De Othello
Title: Time, Turn, and Light
Here is the description of this art piece as mentioned in the observation deck.
“Time, Turn and light depict ambiguous sets of hands interacting with everyday objects such as clocks, a flashlight, a candle, and a doorknob”
At each gate there is a huge art piece is hanging. Here is the picture which gives an idea of size of the art piece!
I really liked this piece of art. I found very unique among all other art pieces.
