As the MTA rehabilitates the subway and commuter rail stations in New York City and its suburbs through its Capital Programs, it uses a portion of the funds for the installation of permanent works of art. Arts for Transit’s projects create visually unique links to neighborhoods with art that echoes the architectural history and design context of the individual stations. Both well-established and emerging artists contribute to a constantly growing collection of works that use the materials of the system–mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel, and glass. In addition to permanent art, the program encompasses Music Under New York, a Transit Poster Program, and the Lightbox Project, a series of photography exhibits. To learn more about Arts for Transit projects, visit http://www.mta.info/mta/aft. About This Guide Art en Route helps you view art throughout the MTA system. The sections are organ- ized by subway line, commuter rail stations, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. This guide is updated periodically as new installations are completed. An asterisk * indicates that the project was not yet installed at the time of printing. (Up-to-date project information is always available on our website http://www.mta.info/mta/aft.) Art en Route includes a fold-out subway and railroad map with a comprehensive listing of all stations with artwork, located at the back of the guide. Enjoy!

    Lighting and Byzantine Glass Tesserae

    EVA London Conference ~ 11–13 July 2007 Eva Zányi, Carla Schroer, Mark Mudge, and Alan Chalmers _____________________________________________________________________ LIGHTING AND BYZANTINE GLASS TESSERAE Eva Zányi†, Carla Schroer‡, Mark Mudge‡, Alan Chalmers† † Warwick Digital Laboratory University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL United Kingdom [email protected], [email protected] http://www.warwickdigital.org ‡ Cultural Heritage Imaging San Francisco USA [email protected], [email protected] http://www.c-h-i.org Abstract – A key component of many Byzantine churches was the mosaics on the curved walls and ceilings, which included gold and silver glass tesserae. As the viewer or the light moved within the church, these tesserae sparkled. In this paper we describe how we captured a Polynomial Texture Map of the apse mosaic at the Angeloktisti Church at Kiti, Cyprus and used it to investigate how the position of the lighting may have affected the appearance of the mosaic. Our study showed that the appearance of the mosaics is indeed significantly different when lit from various directions. INTRODUCTION From the outside Byzantine churches look unimposing; without much decoration, no paint or precious materials. This is very different to the interior, which provided those inside the space with dramatic visual affects aiming at alleviating and engaging the viewer to approach God [14]. The architecture used light and shadow to symbolically represent different sacral hierarchies and direct the attention of the viewer. Therefore the upper parts of the churches, which represented heaven, were better lit than the lower parts. In early Byzantium this was achieved with the help of daylight through small xxxx Figure 1.

    Duke Ellington Monument Unveiled in Central Park Tatum, Elinor

    Document 1 of 1 Duke Ellington monument unveiled in Central Park Tatum, Elinor. New York Amsterdam News [New York, N.Y] 05 July 1997: 14:3. Abstract A monument to jazz legend Duke Ellington was unveiled at Duke Ellington Circle on the northeast corner of Central Park on Jul 1, 1997. The jet black, 25-ft-high memorial was sculpted by Robert Graham and depicts Ellington, standing by his piano. The statue is a gift from the Duke Ellington Memorial Fund, founded by Bobby Short. Full Text Duke Ellington monument unveiled in Central Park The four corners of Central Park are places of honor. On the southwest gateway to the park are monuments and a statue of Christopher Columbus. On the southeast corner is a statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman. Now, on the northeast corner of the park, one of the greatest jazz legends of all time and a Harlem hero, the great Duke Ellington, stands firmly with his piano and his nine muses to guard the entrance to the park and to Harlem from now until eternity. The monument to Duke Ellington was over 18 years in the making, and finally, the dream of Bobby Short, the founder of the Duke Ellington Memorial Fund, came to its fruition with the unveiling ceremony at Duke Ellington Circle on 110th Street and Fifth Avenue on Tuesday. Hundreds of fans, family, friends and dignitaries came out to celebrate the life of Duke Ellington as he took his place of honor at the corner of Central Park. The jet black, 25-foot-high memorial sculpted by Robert Graham stands high in the sky, with Ellington standing by his piano, supported by three pillars of three muses each.

    154 WEST 14Th STREET BUILDING, 154-162 West 14Th Street (Aka 51-59 Seventh Avenue), Manhattan

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 28, 2011, Designation List 444 LP-2419 154 WEST 14th STREET BUILDING, 154-162 West 14th Street (aka 51-59 Seventh Avenue), Manhattan. Built 1912-13; Herman Lee Meader, architect; New York Architectural Terra Cotta Co., terra cotta. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 609, Lot 7. On June 22, 2010, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 154 West 14th Street Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of New York Assemblymember Deborah J. Glick, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, and the Historic Districts Council. Summary The 154 West 14th Street Building (1912-13), a 12-story speculative loft structure constructed for lawyer-banker and real estate developer Leslie R. Palmer, was the first completed New York City design by architect Herman Lee Meader, with whom Palmer collaborated on five projects. The building’s location at the prominent intersection of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue anticipated the southward extension of Seventh Avenue and its new subway line, and benefitted from its proximity and direct access to the Holland Tunnel and west side freight terminals. Arranged in a tripartite base-shaft-capital composition with large window areas, it is a striking and unusual example of a large loft building partly clad in terra cotta – on the three-story base, on the spandrels between the white-brick piers of the midsection, and on the upper portion.
