For the most up-to-date information, visit the Alumni Weekend website at:  The Metro SeriesApril 12-June 8Lowe Art Museum, Coral Gables
For The Metro Series beginning in 1983, López took his camera underground, into the subways, to document urban transportation as both phenomena and theatre. Using six cities worldwide as his laboratory, New York, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Barcelona, and London, López created a curious study of subway commuters. The images, which capture everyday travelers, Wall Street yuppies, street performers, the homeless, and unemployed, demonstrate changes in fashion, attitudes toward security, and cultural rebellion. The collection, Le Métro, is also included in the Bibliothéque Nationale de France and was most recently added to the U.S. Library of Congress.
