BEIJING, Jan. 16 (People's Daily Online) --The new edition of the Pocket Tube map released last month will have a cover by Imran Qureshi commissioned through Art on the Underground as the final art commission of London Underground’s 150th anniversary.

12 million copies will be distributed throughout the London tube network.

Head of Art on the Underground, Tamsin Dillon, said: "Qureshi has made a fantastic work for the new pocket Tube map; I love the way it references the actual London Underground map with its vibrant colours inspired by the various Tube lines.”

Since 2004, Art on the Underground has commissioned 18 previous tube map covers from leading contemporary artists. Other artists in the series include: Jeremy Deller (with Paul Ryan), Tracey Emin, Liam Gillick, MonaHatoum, Gary Hume, Emma Kay, Yayoi Kusama, Barbara Kruger, Richard Long, Michael Landy, Sarah Morris, Paul Noble, Cornelia Parker, Eva Rothschild, Yinka Shonibare MBE, David Shrigley, Mark Wallinger and Pae White.
