Subway Art - 81st


Subway Art - 81st

Entitled "For Want of a Nail", named after the old proverb, it addresses the interconnections of entities that are as vast as a galaxy and as small as a single cell. Using ceramic tile, glass tile, glass mosaic, bronze relief, and granite as primary materials, the design team depicted the evolution of extinct, existing and endangered life forms — from single celled organisms to the towering T. rex dinosaur.

I've added that one to my fav. photos :o)
That way I get the information you kindly put below the picture and I like the blue shades in this too.
Thank you.

That's great Terratoonie. I'm surprised how little information is available about this. It seems the artists did not want recognition and that request has been honored. The blue is very striking.
