The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.
We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.
71st Street Station –
Artist: Joan Linder
Title: The Flora of Bensonhurst
Date: 2012
Medium: Laminated glass
Location: Platform windscreens
Fabricator: Tom Patti Design
Joan Linder’s artwork will provide an elegant and dynamic tribute to the natural landscape in Bensonhurst. Linder’s proposal presents drawings of flora taken from the actual wild vegetation from the streets and lots in the neighborhood. These botanical images also flow in the direction of the train as the visual indication of departure and arrival. The work will be installed in the windows above the stairways that can be seen from the platform and the street level. In the medium of glass, the work will be aided by the strong light available to this particular station.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara with Carlos Fonseca (founder of the FSLN) and A.C. Sandino. Below them is Monseñor Romero (the woman with him is a particular person, also a martyr of some kind, but I can’t remember who it is! shame on me!). At the top right is an anonymous compa (compañero=Sandinista soldier) helping women and children.
Despite the seriousness of the mural, I can’t help thinking that Che looks like he’s saying to Fonseca and Sandino, "c’mon guys, this is so not my scene–let’s go get a beer."
