What do you do
with a painting that is one-eighth the size of a basketball court?
In Phoenix, you hang it at the airport -- in the biggest
terminal you can find.
Thus, in a dedication ceremony at 4 p.m. today, Sky Harbor
International Airport's Terminal 3 will become the new home of
"Stage," a 22-by27-foot Western mural painted by John Farnsworth.
The oil-on-linen painting of a stagecoach is composed of 30
individual canvases. donated by Wells Fargo and Company, the 1981 art work
originally graced the walls of Wells Fargo's southern California banking
headquarters, but there was no room for it after the company offices were
moved.
It came to Phoenix through the efforts of the Phoenix Art
Commission, local arts supporter Edward Jacobson and Phoenix Art Museum
director James Ballinger.
"It is so large that the only two places in the city it
could fit were the airport and the Civic Plaza," airport art curator
Lennée Eller says.
