I personally think that it makes the subway stations prettier. A little color never hurt!

I have never noticed the artwork displayed in the 74th Street Station. Maybe it’s just because I just never took the time to look around whenever I was at the station. I think that it’s a great idea for the MTA folks to refurbish the station so that it doesn’t look so run-down. It makes commuters like myself feel better when I wait for the train to come. I think next time when I’m at the 74th Street Station, I’ll look for the art around the station.

I wonder if these abstract works are supposed to make the strap hanger feel a certain way…may be less stressed out about train delays? (perhaps an attempt by the MTA to improve customer relations)

good observation! I’ve been using this station for two year, but had never noticed this. I guess this is another kind of way to present art in the everyday life.
