Kathleen Ryan revives a defunct 5th Av–53rd St subway newsstand with vivid spring art, giving weary commuters an unexpected burst of color and wonder.
I love public art displays in the subway system, and New York City’s art initiatives never disappoint. There’s something quietly uplifting about heading to your dull Midtown job, hobnobbing among the listless, only to discover that a familiar niche—once home to day-old newspapers and lukewarm sodas—has become a paean to spring, transforming a tired space into an endless array of aesthetic possibilities. I’m not sure if it makes me sad or happy—and that’s okay.
