520 1 $a"Along the Way is a tour through New York's underground museum of contemporary art, works commissioned by MTA Arts for Transit for the subway system and commuter rail lines. Vivid murals by Roy Lichtenstein and Romare Bearden convey the energy of Times Square while Robert Wilson's Coney Island Baby captures the festive spirit of the city's playland. Among the many projects currently in development are a multi-dimensional installation by Mike and Doug Starn at the South Ferry complex and large-scale ceramic "wall drawing" by Sol Lewitt at Columbus Circle." "Initiated in 1985, this collection of site-specific public art now encompasses more than 160 pieces in mosaic, terra-cotta, bronze, faceted glass, and mixed media. Artists represented include Elizabeth Murray, Faith Ringgold, Eric Fischl, Nancy Spero, Michelle Oka Doner, Maya Lin, Mary Miss, Tom Otterness, and the Acconci Studio. More than fifty projects are currently under way, making the Arts for Transit program one of the most significant public art initiatives in the world." "A reference for riders who have wondered about an artist or the meaning behind the art as well as a memento for visitors, Along the Way provides over 200 color illustrations and insightful descriptions sure to infuse any future trip or viewing with a fresh appreciation and understanding of this historic enterprise."--BOOK JACKET.
