Two new stations were opened in the 1990s:
Bagarmossen and Skarpnäck.
Both of these are cave stations with open platforms and no separating
the impression of light and openness.
At both and, the art and architecture were designed as a coherent whole
right from the beginning.
The photo below is Bagarmossen.
During the 1990s there was more of a focus on improving older stations.
More comfortable entrances, lifts, new tiled walls, especially on the green
and red lines, rather than on building new ones.
Stations also gained works art as part of this work.
The art also fulfills a function here - giving each station its own identity
and distinguishing between stations that would otherwise look very similar.
The art often involves tiling in ticket halls and stairways, or sculptures.
Stations whose art dates from the 1990s include Ängbyplan, Gamla stan,
Gubbängen, Hötorget, Svedmyra, Vårby gård, Vårberg.
The sculptor below in Gubbängen, and the wall painting is in Gamla stan.
