Take a journey along The Line, East London's innovative outdoor art trail featuring world-renowned contemporary artists
The Line has transformed East London's urban landscape into a dynamic cultural corridor. Spanning nearly 8 kilometres (4.8 miles), the outdoor public art trail features monumental sculptures, intimate installations, and an evolving programme, offering a world-class contemporary art experience on a free and daily basis.
Celebrating The Line's 10th anniversary, The Line: Public Art in East London replicates the unique experience of exploring its groundbreaking public art programme. Across more than 200 pages, readers will journey through the iconic neighbourhoods of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, The O2 arena, and the waterways that connect three London boroughs.
This beautifully illustrated book presents work by 35 international artists, including Antony Gormley, Tracey Emin, Thomas J Price, Rasheed Araeen, Rana Begum, and Helen Cammock. More than 150 colour photographs - from eye-level images of the installations to spectacular aerial drone shots - contextualize The Line's natural and industrial environs, creating an immersive homage to this inspiring public art walk.
