Public Art Commissions
Hauben was commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of NYC to create the artwork for the Freeman Street (IRT White Plains Road Line) on the 2 & 5 elevated train line in the Bronx. The work consists of six faceted glass panels, created with inch-thick colored glass pieces that are held together with epoxy, all of which depict Bronx street scenes.
In 2007 the Americans for the Arts organization recognized Hauben's Freeman Street Station artwork (collectively titled "The El") as one of the top 40 works of public art in the nation.
In 2008 Hauben was selected to create all the artwork for the new North Instructional Building and Library of Bronx Community College. Ground was broken for the 98,000-square-foot (9,100 m2) building in October 2008, with a completion date set for 2011. It was designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects, and complements the original Stanford White plan for the campus. The artwork for the building includes 22 paintings depicting scenes of the Bronx by Hauben.[2]
