Dezsö’s permanent public art has been installed in two NYC subway stations, at CUNY Fiterman Hall in Lower Manhattan and at the US Embassy in Bucharest, Romania. Community Garden, Dezsö’s colorful glass mosaic that winds through the Bedford Park Boulevard subway station in New York City, was recognized as Best American Public Art in 2007 by Americans for the Arts.
