Tang Collective Catalog


Richard Estes’s work transports me to the warm spring light of this train ride from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Some things have changed—the Twin Towers are gone, the park below has expanded—yet the subway continues onward along the same ageless route. My family has ridden the Manhattan Bridge to work and school for decades. The R68 car had only been introduced two years prior to this print, and 30 years later, I spent many days doing homework propped up in the crevasse window seat as I traveled the familiar rattle of the track.
