MTA Arts & Design  announced the commissioning of two highly acclaimed artists selected to create permanent artwork for the greatly anticipated Grand Central Madison, a new 700,000-square-foot Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) terminal below Grand Central Terminal, along Madison Avenue between 43 and 48 Streets in Manhattan. The site-specific large-scale installations by Yayoi Kusama and Kiki Smith will be unveiled with the opening of the new terminal later this year.

MTA Arts & Design commissioned Kusama and Smith through a competitive artist selection process. Finalists were identified to develop site-specific proposals for sites throughout the terminal responding to the architectural design and future use as a terminal for LIRR commuters, and the commissions were awarded based on the strength of those proposals.
