But alas, the Second Avenue subway is arriving and hopefully it eases the pain of commuting for some New Yorkers. As an added bonus, the new stations feature some beautiful new artwork. The 96th Street station seen here features a beautiful display by Sarah Sze.
Sze created the artwork, called “Blueprint for a Landscape,” by applying color and lines to 4,300 porcelain tiles. The deep blue background is punctured with birds, scaffolding, and foliage caught up in the chaos of a whirlwind.
