I’ve always liked artists who play with texts and typography – as Tom Phillips did in his monumental A Humument. The picture at the top of the post is of a ‘found fragment’ by the artist Ian Kiaer, one of the hundred works commissioned by London Underground last year to mark its centenary of commissioning original posters from artists.
In case the text is hard to read on the image, it runs like this:
Meanwhile brought back to the subterranean action of economic facts, the “old mole” revolution hollows out chambers in decomposed soil repugnant to the delicate nose of the utopians.
