    Question #60147. gmackematix asks:

    Which work of modern art connects Henry Ford, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Titian, Guglielmo Marconi, Oliver Reed and Kierkegaard? Whose name on that line is crossed out?

    Gmack, I don't have the faintest idea what this is. Both the Maven and I are baffled.

    Can you offer a slight, additional hint?

    Possibly part of an Underground art movement?

    I'll add that the artist involved was a nominee for that prize whose eponymous painter must be a Turner in his grave.

    Would it have anything to do with Simon Patterson's The Great Bear? Short-listed for the Turner Prize?

    ...and here we can see who is crossed out:

    That MUST be it, peasy. I see Daimler's name crossed out next to Ford's.

    Yay Peasy! It was indeed Patterson's rendering of the Bakerloo line that connected those people.
    It's a shame he couldn't find people that fitted more than one category to put at junctions.

    And I might as well link to an article on the Turner Prize (which does have a link to Mr Patterson).
