The Yellow Line  is a wall mounted sculpture with abstract geometric patterns, quick brush strokes and neon to convey high energy and rapid movement. The artwork refers to the Yellow Line where it is displayed. It captures the force and speed of trains as they rush through the intricate geometry of the Metrorail system.

The Yellow Line  was approved by the then MetroArt Consortium to be installed at the Gallery Place station. The artwork was a loan from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) from 1989 to 1998 when the artwork was donated to WMATA.  It is one of the oldest public artworks commissioned by the DCCAH. It was the first of many to be installed as part of the Art in Metro project.
