I love it. That's such a sweet gesture. Rest in Peace Patti.
Very cool and glad some kind soul paid tribute. Won't be long before the MTA removes it.
The decals on the poles/columns are cool, but did they really need to paint on the station signage terra cotta?
Yes it was a must
Authorized by MTA? Otherwise, it's vandalism.
Such a shock. Heart breaking. She really brought a new vibrant art movement in the city
