Platform for Art
A range of posters created for Transport for London's art exhibitions on the Underground
Artists’ pick
London Underground has been a pioneer in art and design since 1908 when Frank Pick began commissioning leading artists to work on London Underground poster campaigns. Man Ray, Edward McKnight Kauffer and Graham Sutherland produced posters for the network.
Bright journeys
Platform for Art, London Underground’s public art programme, continued this tradition. Designed to showcase and celebrate the rich and vibrant art scene, the programme enhanced and enriched the journeys of its audience - Underground passengers.
Fresh perspective
Under highly regarded curator Tamsin Dillon, Platform for Art arrived on London’s cultural map in 2002. Major international artists such as Cindy Sherman, David Shrigley and Paola Pivi have been attracted to exhibit on the tube network in susbsequent years.
New identity
Our contribution to the success of Platform for Art began with the creation of a new visual identity. We were then responsible for the ongoing promotion of the programme through posters, literature, billboards and hoardings. In total we created well over 200 posters that were seen across the London Underground network
