Good Morning and Good Night

2004 Crown Heights-Utica Avenue (3, 4) New York City Transit

Hugo Consuegra was already serving as the architect for the Crown Hts - Utica Av subway station when his responsibilities were expanded to include the addition of artwork. Consuegra’s design features a series of ceramic tile panels on the platform walls and bronze medallions which revolve around motifs of the sun and moon. The art, titled “Good Morning and Good Night,” mirrors the flow of riders going to and from the station to their homes each day. The “Good Morning” portion of the artwork is on the inbound side of the station, which fills in the morning hours and features images of the sun rising, while the “Good Night” segment welcomes travelers home as the evening arrives with scenes of the moon high above the night sky.
