Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In 2010 Heathrow ran an international arts competition to find an ambitious public artwork the for the Covered Court, architect Luis Vidal's grand entrance to the new Terminal 2. The winner was Richard Wilson, whose sculpture encapsulating the imagined flight path of an aerobatics aircraft now shimmers in the lights of the Covered Court, providing a monument to the spirit of collaboration, British ingenuity and the increasing popularity of contemporary art in 'museums without walls'. This book traces 'Slipstream's' epic journey from inception through to the reality of an artwork that links together the technological age with the golden era of aviation.
