Art on the Underground have commissioned 100 contemporary artists to make new works that are inspired by London Underground’s ‘Roundal’ logo, marking its 100th anniversary.
All 100 new works will be exhibited at the A Foundation Gallery in East London (9 – 30 October 2008). A selection of works will also be mass produced for display across the London Underground network as posters and in fold out information sheets.
As a key element of the exhibition Art on the Underground are hosting an auction of one of a pair of prints of each of 100 artworks. The remaining work from this paired edition will be permanently archived in the London Underground collection alongside the original works which inspired the project. The auction will be held on Wednesday 29th October.
