Time for some more mosaics from the 72nd and Second Ave
station on the new Q subway extension.
It would be impossible for me to describe what a wonderful
gift the new subway is.
When they started to build it in 2007 we joked that it
would be finished just in time for us to be old.
And that's exactly how it has turned out.
Here are some more photos of the beautiful mosaics at the
72nd Street station.
In my last post I
just focused on the one that I liked best,
(which happens to be a self-portrait of the artist)
but they are all pretty amazing.
Hats off to Vik Muniz, the artist, and Franz Mayer, the
fabricator of the tiles.
I smile every time I
see them.
Here's the first blog...
Cheers!
