Tottenham Court Road Station Reopens
Today they reopened the Northern line platforms at Tottenham Court Road station.
The pictures show some of the unique mosaics in the station by Eduardo Paolozzi. One picture shows the naked Northern line platform. Will it get the proper treatment or something very anonymous?
It would appear from this page on TfL’s website, that the murals will be complimented by more artwork from Daniel Buren. This is an extract.
Buren’s is the second piece of permanent artwork to be installed at Tottenham Court Road station, complementing the now iconic 1984 mosaic designs by the late Eduardo Paolozzi. The majority of the Paolozzi mosaics are being preserved in the upgraded station, whilst some smaller sections will be carefully removed and displayed elsewhere.
Let’s hope it all works out! I suspect it will!
