72 St (Q Train) — Vik Muniz's 'Perfect Strangers'

What creators say

  • “Part of the celebrated 2017 Second Avenue Subway opening, this station features Vik Muniz's 'Perfect Strangers' — over three dozen life-size mosaic portraits of everyday New Yorkers lining the mezzanine walls. Muniz photographed quirky, real New Yorkers from all walks of life, then rendered them in meticulous glass mosaic by the Franz Mayer of Munich studio. The vivid, diverse cast of characters makes riders feel like they're sharing the platform with the entire city.”
