London's underground railways are an expression of the spread and diversity of the most international of capitals. Indeed, for many Londoners the subterranean network is the very essence of the city, its arteries carrying the pulse of urban life from the heart of the metropolis out to its farthest extremities. How to capture that breadth in one work of art? How to celebrate a single system while also reflecting the millions of lives that it has transported over the past century and a half? That was the challenge facing Turner Prizewinning artist Mark Wallinger. His response was to create a vast, permanent work of public art across the entire network, layered with rich cultural and historical references. This book provides a record of this extraordinary project.
