Which New York City Subway station is decorated with glass mosaics by Roy Lichtenstein?

Times Square–42nd Street contains the New York City Subway artwork “Times Square Mural,” a glass-mosaic work by Roy Lichtenstein.

Lichtenstein created the artwork for the station as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Arts for Transit program. The piece uses imagery connected with the history and imagined future of New York transportation, presented in the artist’s recognizable graphic style.

The station complex has many other artworks, signs, and historic architectural elements, which can make individual artists difficult to distinguish. Its extensive network of passageways also means that riders may encounter different works in separate sections of the complex.

Roy Lichtenstein is best known for paintings influenced by comic-strip imagery, but his public art included large-scale works for transportation spaces. The mosaic is therefore a subway landmark as well as an example of postwar American pop art.
