Tate to Tate: A Walk along London's South Bank

Softcover | 13.34 x 1.57 x 20.17 cm | 192 pp

Jonathan Cape | 2008 | 9780224085151

Tate to Tate is a continuous concertina-bound panoramic drawing depicting a group of people walking east along London's South Bank - brightly coloured, diverse group, of all races and ages.

As you follow their progress from spread to spread you start to notice cunning details and the beginning of a story. Behind them are Lambeth, Hungerford, Blackfriars and Southwark Bridges, and the London Eye - and across the Thames a panorama of the buildings on the North Bank: Tate Britain, the Palace of Westminster, the Savoy Hotel, Somerset House. Then, arriving at Tate Modern, and the climaxes of the stories you have been following, you see that another group of characters is walking west, each with another story to follow.
