Photographer Christopher Herwig has covered more than 30 000km by car bike bus and taxi in 13
former Soviet countries discovering and documenting these unexpected treasures of modern art.
From the shores of the Black Sea to the endless Kazakh steppe these bus stops show the range
of public art from the Soviet era and give a rare glimpse into the creative minds of the time.
The book represents the most comprehensive and diverse collection of Soviet bus stop design
ever assembled from: Kazakhstan Turkmenistan Uzbekistan Kyrgyzstan Tajikistan Ukraine
Moldova Armenia Abkhazia Georgia Lithuania Latvia and Estonia. With a foreword by writer
critic and television presenter Jonathan Meades.
