Loops by James Garvey. These are composed of fourteen bronze loops surrounding the I-beam columns near the northern fare control areas, which are designed as handholds or seat rests. According to Garvey, "the thick bronze bar ... resembles the lasso demonstration in a Will Rogers film clip". Garvey subsequently designed Lariat Tapers, a similar artwork at the Wall Street station, in 2011. Exits Each platform has exits to both 32nd and 33rd Streets. The northbound platform's exits are on the eastern side of Park Avenue while the southbound platform's exits are on the western side. The street staircases contain relatively simple, modern steel railings like those seen at most New York City Subway stations. At 33rd Street, each control area contains two exits, one each to the north and south sides of 33rd Street. These exits are directly outside 4 Park Avenue to the northwest, 2 Park Avenue to the southwest, 3 Park Avenue to the northeast, and 1 Park Avenue to the southeast. At 32nd Street, each control area contains two exits to the south side of that street. References Further reading Lee Stokey. Subway Ceramics: A History and Iconography. 1994.
