New artwork awaits you on the Upper West Side, a stone’s throw from the New York Museum of Natural History and Central Park. Meet on the subway, inside 72nd Street station (lines B and C).
After 5 months of work, the metro station resumed service in early October 2018 with a nice surprise for users: the walls now feature 6 mosaics made by Yoko Ono, the widow of former Beatles John Lennon.

The work is titled “Sky”, the sky in English. It represents a blue sky strewn with clouds with, in filigree, messages of hope and peace, the great fight of Yoko Ono since the death of her husband.
The choice to entrust the decoration of this station to Yoko Ono is obviously not a coincidence: the 72nd Street station is located under the Dakota Building, the building in front of which John Lennon was assassinated on December 8, 1980. Yoko Ono still lives there. If you are interested, continue to Central Park: you will see the famous mosaic Imagine, designed by Yoko Ono in Strawberry Fields, a few meters from the Dakota Building.
