About The Work
For the 150th anniversary celebration of the London Underground, iconic conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner was one of 15 artists commissioned to create a limited edition work for Art on the Underground’s “15 for 150” series. Weiner’s plaque rebrands the classic underground logo in his characteristic boldly colored block text, scored by a jarring red swirl. “There has to be something that deals with the sheer wonder and sensual sense of in fact traveling under the ground,” Weiner said of the work. “What has been transcribed to the poster and the plaque is my sense of traveling under the ground.”
