2nd Avenue Line in NYC!

I could not wait to see them! Finally I saw them. Wow wow, wow......

When this line opened they said that it was a museum you can visit with only a subway fee. Indeed, their qualities are of museum pieces! Plus you can touch them!

Here are mosaic/tile works of Chuck Close at at 86th, of Vik Muniz at 72nd, and of Sarah Sze at 96th.
