Most people wouldn’t think of a subway car as artistic inspiration, but apparently, there are more than a few individuals who do. “It turns out that New York’s subways have long been associated with art, and have themselves even been considered art, ever since the first IRT train rolled down the tracks in 1904.” From the subway’s original turnstiles to long-forgotten ads exhorting the public to use the service, to the stations themselves (no, not all of them,) art is everywhere in the New York underground, if you can just see through the grime.
