Opened in phases between 2018–2022, Terminal B serves as a key feature of the most dramatic transformation of New York City’s transportation infrastructure in a generation. Working at an unprecedented scale, artists Jeppe Hein, Sabine Hornig, Sarah Sze, and Laura Owens created four permanent public art installations that anchor the space, enhance the passenger experience, and underscore New York’s global position as a beacon for arts and culture.
Access to Artwork: Artworks by Sabine Hornig, Sarah Sze, and Laura Owens can be experienced before Security on the Departures Level. Jeppe Hein’s work is mainly accessed after Security.
