Richard Long Giveaway

Richard Long - One Thing Leads to Another - Everything is Connected (2009)A "limited edition" of 60,000 prints of Richard Long's One Thing Leads to Another - Everything is Connected, commissioned by Tate Britain and Art on the Underground, are being given away to Tube passengers to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Jubilee Line. If you missed yours on the way to work this morning, you can pick up one tomorrow between 7am and noon at any of these 10 Jubilee Line stations: Stanmore, Wembley Park, Finchley Road, Baker Street, Green Park, Westminster, London Bridge, Canada Water, Canary Wharf and Stratford. The giveaway is a publicity stunt for the opening of an exhibition of Long's work at Tate Britain tomorrow: Heaven and Earth. Ticket prices are: £9.80 full price, £7.80 concessions, £8.80 silver surfers - ripoff! - and £24.50 family. At these prices, no wonder they can afford to give away 60,000 prints. Forget it. Waste of space, both the freebie and the wildly overvalued "art" exhibition.
