Sculpture That Killed Artist Arrives At DIA

Fiberglass Mustang Will Be Installed In Median

A long-delayed sculpture of a mustang by the late Luis Jimenez has arrived at Denver International Airport.

Airport officials said Monday that crews would begin installing the 32-foot-tall fiberglass work immediately, unless high winds interfere. A large crane will hoist the piece into its final resting site.

The sculpture depicts a rearing horse. It was commissioned in 1992 but was delayed by structural changes and because Jimenez had health problems.

Jimenez died in his Hondo, N.M., studio in June 2006 after he was pinned under a section of the piece that came loose from a hoist. The piece severed an artery in his leg.

After his death, work continued on the sculpture under the direction of his family.

It will be installed just south of the main terminal in the median of Pena Boulevard, the main approach to the airport.
