Description
[HARLEM GRAFFITI]
A VINTAGE METAL 125TH STREET MTA SUBWAY STATION PLATFORM SIGN
Various marking pens and paint on metal sign, 18 x 48 in), three holes each to left and right edges where previously affixed to wall. Various spots of wear, scratches, and chips from age and use.
AN AMAZING SURVIVAL
Removed from the 125th street platform, and discarded sometime after 1985, this sign was thankfully salvaged before it was sent to the dump by an individual who understood the piece's historic significance.

Private collection
