    About this ebook

    For decades, Philip Ashforth Coppola has meticulously documented the New York City subway in a series of extraordinary drawings, detailing the terracotta mosaics, faience, and tile patterns that millions of riders pass by every day. Coppola's drawings are what Hyperallergic calls "the most encyclopedic history of the art and architecture of the New York City subway system." Along with Coppola's intricate ink drawings are anecdotes he assembled through painstaking research involving hundreds of hours poring through microfilms to discover the names behind the artisanship of what is rightly called New York's largest public art work—its legendary subway system.

      Minunata carte! O recomand tuturor celor care sunt pasionati de arta monumentala. M-a impresionat pana la lacrimi efortul enorm, dedicarea si devotamentul autorului pentru pastrarea memoriei lucrarilor de arta si ale artistilor care au contribuit la infrumusetarea si nu numai ...a ceea ce a fost candva Metroul din New York.
