Cortlandt Street
Trade, Treasure and Travel, 1997 and 2011
Handmade Ceramic Relief Tile
By Margie Hughto
This artwork was installed in the more narrow overpass during station renovations in 1997 and includes depictions of Trade, Treasure, and Travel ranging from sailing ships, coins, to the Manhattan skyline including the World Trade Center site. The plaque is actually incorrect, the artwork (at least most of it) was in its original place in the stations brief opening between 2002 and 2005.
