Art Underground: Tom Otterness

Posted: October 24th, 2011

For more than 25 years the MTA Arts for Transit program has been responsible for transforming our underground into a vast canvas for public art. Mosaics, glass, bronze and other materials now adorn the previously decaying and forgotten walls and corridors of our subways. In honor of Arts for Transit passing this quarter-century milestone, SundayArts took a look at some of the system’s most celebrated works and the artists behind them. This week we focus on Tom Otterness’s, “Life Underground.”

SundayArts is made possible in part by First Republic Bank and by the Rubin Museum of Art. Funding for SundayArts is also made possible by Rosalind P. Walter, The Paul and Irma Milstein Foundation, The Philip & Janice Levin Foundation, Elise Jaffe and Jeffrey Brown, Jody and John Arnhold, and The Lemberg Foundation. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Additional funding provided by members of THIRTEEN.
