What would a baseball team in Los Angeles want from a retired artist and designer in New York?
Janet Bennett wasn’t sure.
Generations of Angelenos are familiar with her signature project. You probably have walked right past it. Those colorful tile mosaics that decorate the long corridors toward baggage claim in five terminals at Los Angeles International Airport? She designed them.
You might have seen them in the movies or on television: “Airplane!,” “Mad Men” and “The Graduate,” just for starters.
You might have memorized the trivia: When you passed the red tiles, you were halfway down the corridor.
