Typical airport art - Bust of Charles Lindbergh
What's that under the Spirit of St. Louis in Terminal 2 at Lindbergh Field?
Snapshot in Sculpture: 1960's San Diego Midcentury Art. Curated by Dave Hampton
The exhibit includes work by Russell Baldwin, Jean Balmer, Barney Reid, Jack Boyd and many more.
