A Group of "Dangos "

 

A few years ago, the Desert Botanical Garden had an exhibit of artworks by Jun Kaneko.  Long before that exhibit, his works could be seen at the Phoenix Art Museum or this collection that used to be at the airport.  These "Dangos" have since been moved to the new airport rental car center.  

There are two rows of them and the rental car center, the polka-dotted ones at the top and this group with different patterns.  You can see a variety of these sculptures on his website.  


The last time I was at the Phoenix Art Museum, I noticed they had one that is currently on display in the lobby of the museum.  

Jun Kaneko's artwork is well distributed throughout the city.

I was in and out of the rental car place, and didn't notice. The train now runs there
