"Waiting for the Bus" by M.F. Rosenthal

For tourists and commuters passing through New York City's Port Authority Bus Terminal, George Segal's "Commuters" sculpture is not exactly a reassuring sight.


"The Wait" by Jacques Flacher

In the middle of the wide-open space of the building's South Wing, three life-sized white plaster figures line up as though they were waiting to pass through a doorway that leads nowhere.

A clock next to the door frame reads "NEXT DEPARTURE 3:00," but three o'clock never comes for these folks.


"Ladies in Fur Coats" by Elena Gorina

Each carries a small bag or jacket, each looks listless and sad-and it's no wonder, since they have been waiting in the same spot for almost 20 years.


"A Woman Waiting" by Manuel Ngombo
