Art as a Derivative II – Footsie 100 Squared Overview Art as a Derivative II – Footsie 100 Squared is a research-based project and my subject are the hundred companies that make up the FTSE 100 index, the top-ranking businesses listed on the London Stock Exchange Information My research into each company comes from financial journalism - newspaper articles, televised interviews and corporate websites. To get a grasp of where each company has come from, its present activities, difficulties and success, I also referred to company reports, stock analysis and financial commentary on specific events, such as acquisitions or mergers. I have also looked at the executive make-up of the boards of all 100 companies, their composition and backgrounds. Larry McGinity
