Artemis, Acrobats, Divas and Dancers
Artist: Nancy Spero, 1999. Installed 2004.
West 66th Street/Lincoln Center Subway tile mosaic art #2 [Detail 2] as seen at NYC's Lincoln Center stop at Broadway for the downtown (southbound) 1 train.
Glass mosaic murals depicting scenes of theater, dance, and orchestra-related subjects are scattered throughout this station.
I have photographed tile artworks from several NYC subway stations now, so far, all are westside Manhattan subway lines, including the West 34th Street/Pennsylvania Station (A, C & E trains), Chambers Street (A & C trains), Houston Street (1 train), Pennsylvania "Penn" station (1, 2 & 3 trains) [subway art archives] and, my favorite subway station of all, the American Museum of Natural History station at 81st and Central Park West (B & C trains) [AMNH archives].

Have you considered creating a book about NYC subway art that would combine the pictures with a text providing background on the artists and on the NYC subway art program overall?
