Subway Map Floating on a New York City Sidewalk


Most works of art aren't meant to be touched, for obvious reasons. But on Greene Street in Soho lies an artwork that gets trampled, scuffed, spat at, spilled on, and generally disdained all day long. It's Francoise Schein's Subway Map Floating on a New York City Sidewalk, a schematic representation of local subway lines as depicted on maps from the 70s and 80s. It's a little piece of the mundane turned into abstract art and reinserted into the mundane.
