Description - New York's Underground Art Museum by Sandra Bloodworth
Expanded edition of Along the Way, the highly successful volume published in 2006, updated with nearly 100 new works, including pieces by James Carpenter, Doug and Mike Starn, Sol LeWitt, Odili Donald Odita, and Shinique Smith.
Initiated in 1985, the MTA Arts for Transit's collection of site-specific public art now encompasses more than 275 pieces, creating a dynamic underground museum of contemporary work. In media including mosaic, terra-cotta, bronze, and faceted glass, these artworks are installed in the stations of the New York City subway system, Metro North, and the Long Island Railroad.
An update of the highly successful Along the Way, this expanded edition features nearly 100 new works including Sol LeWitt's Whirls and Twirls at Columbus Circle, the Starn Studio's See It Split, See It Change at South Ferry, and Jamie Carpenter's Sky Reflector-Net at Fulton Street. Artists represented include Elizabeth Murray, Faith Ringgold, Eric Fischl, Nancy Spero, Maya Lin, Mary Miss, Tom Otterness, and the Acconci Studio. Of special interest is an impressive group of works by women artists such as Xenobia Bailey, Shinique Smith, Alyson Shotz, Portia Munson, Amy Bennett, and Joy Taylor.
