Mario Carosa cleans snow from his windshield in Brooklyn today, February 2, 1962
Marker drawings on acrylic glass subway car window
from the New York City (Brooklyn) estate of a former MTA contractor who was instructed by the Authority, years ago, to discard the object as part of a rubble pile. In 1984 the NYC Transit Authority (part of the MTA) initiated a massive graffiti clean up campaign of its stations and cars. This window suffers from both graffiti (which could have been cleaned) and damage to the glass itself (which was un-repairable), hence it was replaced and discarded [Live Auctioneers]


designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold
