Life Underground (2001) is a permanent public artwork created by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the 14th Street – Eighth Avenue station (A C E L trains) of the New York City Subway. It was commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Arts for Transit program for US$200000 — one percent of the station’s reconstruction budget. This program has commissioned more than 170 permanent works of art for public transportation facilities the MTA owns and operates.
