Astral Grating

1987 Fulton Street/Broadway–Nassau (A, C, J, M, Z, 2, 3, 4, 5) New York City Transit

An expansive ceiling and light installation in the passageway between the Broadway-Nassau St and Fulton St stations, “Astral Grating” gives physical form to the cycle of the sun, moon and stars. The rings and light fixtures in this ceiling light sculpture are in the configuration of the stars in five constellations: Aries, Auriga, Canis Major, Cygnus, and Piscis Austrinus.

Recent construction on Fulton Center required that the work be removed and carefully stored as we make efforts to re-site the seminal sculpture in a new location.
