Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: Subway. New York City, USA. 1980. “In 1980, the New York subway system was deplorable—unsafe, scribbled all over with graffiti. Some of it very interesting. I took it upon myself to explore the 500 stations in the subway complex. I started with black and white then shifted over to color because I found a lot of meaning in color in the subway. So I would go each day and night to a different place in the subway system to photograph people, making contact in many cases. I began to have a kind of tunnel vision, a compulsion to explore color, form, and life in this very rich and treacherous environment.” — Bruce Davidson Please note: The product images you see here are photographs of the actual prints for sale.
