Did you ever think someone would suggest you to visit a subway station? Well, that is just what I am about to do.
This Summer, Connie and I have discovered one of the City's hidden treasures, art work in the subway.
We came across ceramic tiles, in the 34th Street 1, 2, & 3 Train Station, by a Catskill area artist whom we have met and actually own a few of his works very much like on the subway wall.
Yesterday, I found in the C Train station near the Museum of National History, 79th St. the following;
This is a beautiful ceramic mosaic and wasn't the only one in this station.
On the MTA, Metropolitan Transit Authority, web site you will find a listing of artists, and their works, who will be found is in individual subway stations. And, I doubt if you will want to visit hundreds of underground MTA stations looking for art.
But it is something to be aware of and would make a very interesting underground excursion.
