Texts by Eleanor Pinfield and Tamsin Dillon provide the background to the commission, while an essay by Hans Ulrich Obrist places the work in the context of Buren’s wider practice since the 1960s. Published to coincide with the unveiling of the completed commission, the book includes stunning installation shots of the work in situ, behind-the-scenes photos of the project in progress, architects’ drawings and plans, and the artist’s notes and sketches. Commissioned by Art on the Underground, Buren has created an expansive installation within Tottenham Court Road station in central London, taking over the space with a deceptively simple combination of shapes, colours and his trademark stripes. This book tells the story of the first permanent art work in Britain by Daniel Buren, widely considered France’s greatest living artist and one of the pioneers of conceptual art.
