Comments:
The work, located at the Columbia University subway station (116 St) Click for sign's details, adds a touch of humor to the subway environment. The artist’s goal was to place a chair that would make the person sitting on it feel important and special, so that the subway station would be a more pleasant place for them.

The sculpture was photographed on the same day by the same photographer Click for a larger image

And from a wider angle, also photographed by the same photographer, the sculpture’s location on platform can be seen Click for a larger image
