A 1960s chandelier-like metallic sculpture that once graced the lobby of Lincoln Center’s Philharmonic Hall will be reinstalled in LaGuardia Airport, potentially ending a more than six-year saga over its controversial removal.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the news on Wednesday, although the NY Times broke the story earlier in the day.
In his press release, the governor credited architecture critic Paul Goldberger for proposing LaGuardia s new Terminal B as the home for the artwork. Goldberger served as an advisor to both the Port Authority on its LGA redevelopment plan and to Lincoln Center in the renovation of the newly named David Geffen Hall.
