Fernando Botero at the Time Warner Center?

Two Fernando Botero' statues, Adam and Eve, stand in the lobby of the Time Warner Center's Shops at Columbus Circle. The nude, rotund, cast-bronze figures stand about 20 feet tall, with Botero's trademark exaggerated proportions.

Fernando Botero Angulo is a Colombian neo-figurative artist, self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists".

His work includes still-life and landscapes, but Botero tends to primarily focus on situational portraiture. His paintings and sculptures are, on first examination, noted for their exaggerated proportions and the corpulence of the human figures and animal figures.

The "large people" is what they are often called by critics. Botero explains his use of obese figures and forms as such: "An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it."

New York City's subway lamps?

At the top of most of the system's subway stations sits a lamp post or two bearing a colored spherical lamp. Before the introduction of the MetroCard in 1994, these lights indicated the station's availability. A green lamp meant that the station was open and running 24 hours a day, a yellow lamp meant that it was open only during the day, while a red lamp meant that it was an exit only. The yellow lamp was eventually phased out, being replaced by red lamps. Today, this color system uses green lamps to indicate 24-hour entrances and red lamps to indicate non 24-hour entrances.
