About this work

This is a drawing made by Nigel Coates for a special album. The Victoria and Albert Museum asked 150 artists to contribute a page for its 150th birthday. Each page could be anything from a sketch to a quick design or even words. Coates used drawing to show what inspires him about the V&A and its collections. The museum celebrated the milestone in June 2007 with this project. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
