Summary[edit]

Description

The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.

We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.

71st Street Station - Artist: Joan Linder Title: The Flora of Bensonhurst Date: 2012 Medium: Laminated glass Location: Platform windscreens Fabricator: Tom Patti Design

Joan Linder’s artwork will provide an elegant and dynamic tribute to the natural landscape in Bensonhurst. Linder’s proposal presents drawings of flora taken from the actual wild vegetation from the streets and lots in the neighborhood. These botanical images also flow in the direction of the train as the visual indication of departure and arrival. The work will be installed in the windows above the stairways that can be seen from the platform and the street level. In the medium of glass, the work will be aided by the strong light available to this particular station.

For more information about art throughout the New York transit system, download the Meridian app.
