Sculpture with a D

Sculpture with a "D" is an abstract artwork crafted from painted aluminum by Sam Gilliam. Created in 1980 and placed in 1983 at Davis (MBTA station), Somerville, Massachusetts, this installation extends 44 feet and is suspended above the platform. It consists of interlinked forms that suggest letters representing the station's name.

This piece was commissioned as one of the first twenty artworks under the Arts on the Line initiative. It serves to enrich the transit setting while demonstrating a deliberate effort to incorporate art into public transportation infrastructure.
