Below is a link for Nancy Spero's 2004 subway mosaics entitled "Artemis, Acrobats, Divas and Dancers" installed in the 66th Street/Lincoln Center Subway walls. They are made of glass mosaic tiles that depict theater-dance-orchestra related scenes on the walls for theater goes at Lincoln Center to enjoy. What I like about Spero is her art historical influence from antiquity. One recognizes Egyptian dancers frolicking beside Hellenistic and Egyptian acrobats and other entertaining women. Her abstraction of the female forms in a colorful Fauve expression enlivens and contemporizes her heroines and divas.
