Sculpture at airport a puzzle
Relevant offers
Nelson Airport officials are trying to solve a mystery surrounding a sculpture on the airport grounds and are seeking the public's help.
Nelson Airport Ltd chief executive Kaye McNabb said they had no information in their archives about the sculpture at the entrance to the airport terminal area, and the Nelson City Council had not been able to find any clues in its records either.
Mrs McNabb said they assumed the sculpture appeared about the time the terminal was built in the 1960s, but could not be sure.
They had no idea who made it, or whether it was commissioned, bought for or donated to the airport.
Nelson Airport Ltd is compiling a brochure for visitors to the airport about the numerous artworks on the grounds.
This sculpture is the only piece it has no information about.
"We may just need to put it in as `unidentified artwork'," she said.
However, Mrs McNabb said she would much prefer to be able to give details about the sculpture, including what the artist intended it to represent.
Anyone who has information on the artwork can contact Mrs McNabb at Nelson Airport on 035473199 or email The Nelson Mail at chiefreporter@ nelsonmail.co.nz.
