Lexington and 53rd Street Subway Art

New York City is one of the world's centers for art.  Artists come here to learn, create, and sell their artwork.  For many of us, we don't even have to go to a museum or auction house to see art, it is presented before us in all its glory.  You can find such art inside subways.  The art installation above is at the 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue subway stop, right below the Citicorp Building.  It's great, when you come up from the platform, you suddenly find this -- in your face -- and it jolts you out of your morning doze.  And it's only one part of a huge project by artist Al Held.  It's made out of tile, a massive mosaic.  It's abstract, of course and so colorful.  Sometimes, I wish I had the time to stop where I am and just enjoy it, but I usually have to catch a train.  Ironic huh?
