Times Square Times: 35 Times

2005 Times Square – 42nd Street (A, C, E, N, Q, R, S,1, 2, 3, 7) New York City Transit

Think of Times Square and a variety of images, sights, sounds, and scents come to mind. Whatever they are, chances are you will find them in "Times Square: 35 Times," a series of artworks encased within glass blocks and set into the walls of the station. Toby Buonagurio conceived the work around three themes emblematic of the energetic vibrancy of midtown Manhattan: performing arts, fashion, and street life, all recognizable to both everyday passersby and the thousands of tourists who visit the city. The ceramics are installed in illuminated shadowboxes throughout the Times Square subway station complex.
