Trade, Treasure, and Travel, Margie Hughto (1997)
Location: Cortlandt Street-World Trade Center Ceramic relief tile murals. "I thought about all the
different peoples, products, objects, and moneys that passed through
this area," Hughto says, "and I envisioned a treasure vault filled
with coins, gems, and artifacts-- rich, golden, glowing, and somewhat
mysterious." The artist's interpretation of this vision is a complex,
glittering panorama of twelve interconnected ceramic tile relief
murals in different sizes and shapes, ranging from three to 30 feet in
length. The murals are decorated with a panoply of objects symbolizing
centuries of worldwide exploration and trade on land and
sea....buffalo nickels, ancient coins, keys, natural and mythological
creatures, a huge rose compass based on an ancient celestial chart,
[and a view of the skyline of Manhattan.] Source: mta.info.
“After September 11th, I didn’t know for months if it was OK,” Hughto says. “When I finally got a look at it, it was like going into King Tut’s tomb. There was all this art—and not a scratch on it.” Source: syr.edu.
