    Art Price-less

    Fancy snaffling some free artwork on your way to work next week? For five days from Monday, 25,000 limited-edition posters by leading contemporary artists Mark Titchner, James Ireland, Katy Dover, Klega and Layla Curtis will be handed out at major central London tube stations, including King’s Cross, Victoria, Waterloo, Paddington and Liverpool Street, during rush hour, to launch Transport for London’s new Art on the Underground programme.

    Guggen-gray

    City preservation officials on Tuesday turned down a proposal to paint the exterior of the Guggenheim Museum in the yellowish hue originally selected by its designer, Frank Lloyd Wright. Since 1992, the landmark museum on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue has been light gray, and it will remain that way when an ongoing renovation is completed next year, thanks to a 7-2 vote by the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission.
