One thing leads to another – Everything is connected
In celebration of 30 years of the Jubilee line, Art on the Underground is commissioning a series of contemporary artworks under the umbrella theme of 'The Value of Time' to be exhibited along the line from June 2009 to March 2010.
This print by Richard Long, made in a limited edition of 60,000, is the first one of this series of commissions and is being given away to London Underground customers on 2 and 3 June from 07:00 to 12:00 at the following 10 stations:
- Stanmore
- Wembley Park
- Finchley Road
- Baker Street
- Green Park
- Westminster
- London Bridge
- Canada Water
- Canary Wharf
- Stratford
This artwork is produced in partnership with Tate Britain to coincide with the exhibition Richard Long: Heaven and Earth, a major survey of Richard Long's work at Tate Britain, open from 3 June to 6 September 2009.
The work contrasts the diverse landscape that the Jubilee line travels through, from Stanmore to Stratford, with the rugged landscape of the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland, which was traversed by Long on foot on one of the many walks he has made as an integral part of his art.

The Value of Time – Art on the Jubilee line
Valuing Customer's Time is Transport for London’s key objective.
