Barbara Kruger’s Collectable NYC MetroCards

barbara_kruger_mta_subway-158074

Conceptual artist Barbara Kruger is the latest to join forces with the MTA and design limited edition subway MetroCards. The collaboration is part of arts biennial Performa 17 and is comprised of two designs—each red with white lettering. The tickets pose questions that the artist wishes would not have to exist, such as “Whose justice?,” “Who is housed?,” “Who is silent?,” and “Whose fears?” Her classic and recognizable red/white combination plays interestingly with the MTA’s last collaboration with Supreme, which had hypebeasts buying MetroCards for up to $1,000.
