This volume helps the reader and commuter see the treasures below the surface of New York with fresh eyes. - Charles Whitaker Discover the hidden masterpieces living beneath New York City. Step into the world's largest underground art museum with Art of the New York Subway, a stunning tribute to the artistry that transforms the New York subway from a transit system into a cultural landmark. Since its opening in 1904, the subway has grown into an 840-mile network serving 5.6 million riders daily. But beyond its bustling platforms lies a treasure trove of creativity, including:
- The elegant Beaux Arts terracotta signs of Heins and LaFarge.
- Vibrant contemporary installations by icons like Roy Lichtenstein, Yayoi Kusama, Faith Ringgold, and Nick Cave.
- Mosaics, sculptures, and murals from world-renowned and emerging artists.
Tracing nearly 200 stations of the subway, this book celebrates the fusion of architecture, design and public art that defines New York's identity. Whether you're an art lover, a history enthusiast, or a New Yorker at heart, it offers an unforgettable journey through the city's creative spirits station by station. Experience the beauty beneath the streets and see the subway as you've never seen it before.
