As 2017 commences in New York City, a host of new art installations are on display with artists reflecting on the year we left behind from the gallery to the street. This month, discover the artwork within the newly opened Second Avenue Subway line, see an homage to the 75th anniversary of Japanese internment, ponder the country’s history of artistic censorship with work once removed by Robert Moses, and much more. Here are 10 installations and exhibits not to miss in January.
