For $2.2 million, Salt Lake City gets its largest piece of public art ever, on Regent Street

Earlier in the day, artist Ned Kahn said, his seven-story installation on the side of the Walker Center parking garage along Regent Street was moving beautifully, its 336 teflon-fabric panels rippling like waves.

During a city-sponsored celebration, the new artwork “Pages of Salt” — fittingly for an artwork that looks out over the nearby Eccles Theater — was being a bit of a diva.

Wind, said Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski said, is integral to “Pages of Salt,” as a work “that reminds us of the inherent beauty and power of the wind, which has shaped the landscape of our city, from the Great Salt Lake to the Cottonwood canyons.
