| Description | In 1989 London Underground and Whitechapel Art Gallery commissioned the prestigious performance artist Bruce McLean to produce this poster.

During the second half of the 1960s, he produced experimental works characterised by impermanence, including 'floating sculpture' and performance art. In the mid-1970s he began to paint, initially as preparation for performance works. |
