This poster was produced for 'Platform for Art', an enterprising scheme to install art works on various sites on the London Underground railway network. This poster is the so-called 'circuit poster', used across the network to advertise site-specific projects. In this case a series of billboards reproducing photographs by American artist Cindy Sherman was installed on the unused District line platform at Gloucester Road station, to coincide with the Cindy Sherman exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in 2003 (Gloucester Road is one of the nearest tube stations for visitors to the Serpentine Gallery).
