John Baldessari is one of those artists who seems to work in nearly every realm one can imagine — painting, photography, film, video, sculpture, installation, performance, you name it. The one medium I’ve never really associated with him is glass; and yet I was recently reminded of the glass panels that he created in 2001 for the entrance of the Geisel Library at the University of California, San Diego.

Ever since my post on lobby art awhile back, I’ve been paying closer attention to the work that I encounter in lobbies and thinking about what makes them successful or not. Maybe I’m a little biased, but I’ve been noticing that I consistently feel most inspired in spaces with a well-designed reception feature wall.
