Coney Island Reliefs, Deborah Masters (1996)
Location: Ocean Parkway

This artwork, created in 1996, consists of 128 large reliefs in concrete depicting "the unusual characters who call Coney Island home." It was to be installed by 2000 at Ocean Parkway but structural defects found at the station have delayed its installation. In 2001 some of the pieces were displayed at a gallery show at Long Island University. It was kept in storage at a bus depot in the Bronx until 2009, when the pieces were installed after the completion of the viaduct and station reconstruction.
