Oval Staircase

Helicoidal staircase by Francesco Borromini
Palazzo Barberini
Via delle Quattro Fontane
Rome, September 2010

“Maderno envisioned a floor plan in the shape of an ‘H’, with the Sforza wing facing the piazza. A second parallel wing is connected by a central hall. Flanking the hall, two sets of stairs lead to the piano nobile, a large squared staircase by Bernini to the left and a smaller oval staircase by Borromini to the right. The main block presents three tiers of great arch-headed windows, like glazed arcades, a formula that was more Venetian than Roman. On the uppermost floor, Borromini's windows are set in a false perspective that suggests extra depth, a feature that has been copied into the 20th century.” (Palazzo Barberini, Wikipedia)

“Life Underground” by Tom Otterness, 2001
14th Street/Eighth Avenue station
Eighth Avenue at 14th Street
New York, September 2008

“Life Underground (2001) is a permanent public artwork created by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the New York City Subway's 14th Street/Eighth Avenue station, which serves the A, C, E, and L trains. It was commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Arts for Transit program for US$200,000, one percent of the station's renovation budget. This program has commissioned permanent works of art for public transportation facilities the MTA owns and operates. This work is one of the most popular artworks in the subway system.” (Life Underground, Wikipedia)
