Davis Square statues
The Davis Square statues, entitled ''Ten Figures'', are life-sized cast masonry public sculpture, created by James Tyler,〔(James Tyler public art listing ) Accessed January 7, 2012〕 located in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts at and near the Davis, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority subway station. The statues are based on people that lived near Davis Square in the 1980s. In 1996 bronze "masks" were added to the sculptures to repair vandalism damage and deter future vandalism.
==Arts on the Line==
The sculptures were created as a part of the MBTA and the Cambridge Arts Council's Arts on the Line program. This first of its kind program was devised to bring art into the MBTA's planned Northwest Extension of the Red Line subway stations in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and became a model for similar drives for public art across the country.〔 The statues were one of 20 artworks created for this program, out of over 400 proposals submitted by artists〔Nesbitt, Lois E. (Arts on the Line: Art for Public Transit Spaces At the Hayden Gallery, MIT, 160 Memorial Drive, Cambridge Through March 16 ). Harvard Crimson. February 15, 1980. Accessed October 12, 2010〕 for artworks spread out across five different newly created subway stations. The first 20 artworks, including this one, were completed with a total cost of $695,000 USD, or one-half of one percent of the total construction cost of the Red Line Northwest Extension.〔(Red Line Northwest Extension Pamphlet page 5 ).
