Cycloid 1 by Peter Schmidt - Southwark Council's - Art on the Cart project.


Art on the Cart was an initiative of the Southwark Council Arts Team to make art reach into every corner of the borough. Eight refuse trucks, dustcarts, in UK parlance, had vinyl cladding whose designs were based on artworks with a connection to the Borough of Southwark.
The Southwark Council website used to say the following about the artwork on this truck -
Peter Schmidt, 1913 to 1980, emigrated to Britain from Germany in 1938. He attended Goldsmiths College and Slade School of Fine Art before teaching at Watford School of Art between 1953 and 1957. Schmidt practiced in many media, notably print, electronic improvisation and film.
The image shown on the cart is a serigraph, high quality open edition silkscreen print, that was printed by Editions Alecto. "
This cart had not been uploaded previously as the two original photographs were a bit fuzzy. As I am better at sharpening than I was when I compiled my Public art in Southwark album, I have now made them reasonably clear - helped by the bold design! I have also found a copy I made of the Southwark Council webpages that gave details of the project and the artists. So I have information about the other two artworks used in the project - should anyone wish to know! The webpages have long since vanished from Southwark's website.
The earliest photo I have of one of these trucks is April 2006 - so I think that was the year the project started. To see all six click on the Art on the Cart keyword.
