MTA Arts for Transit

Wopo Holup's cast bas reliefs Elevated Nature I-VI are located on train station platforms along the IRT No. 1 subway line between 125^th Street in Manhattan and 231^st Street in the Bronx. Images of birds, squirrels, and treetops relate to the surrounding cityscape and remind the traveler of those glimpses of nature which can be seen from this elevated portion of the subway line. Holup has created fifty molds which are reconfigured in groups of ten to twelve cast concrete panels at six stations. There will be a total of seven when completed. The stations in the Bronx are located at 231^th, 225^th, 215^th, and 207^th Streets.
