Contribution to V&A's 150th anniversary album is a 2007 by Pamela Howard, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In 2007, Professor Pamela Howard contributed to a special album for the V&A’s 150th birthday. The museum asked artists to share what inspired them in one page, using drawing, design, or even words. Her entry was a drawing. Howard’s page was part of a group of 150 works by leading creatives. Each artist picked something from the V&A’s huge collection to highlight. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next time you’re in London.
The page for the V&A’s 150th anniversary album features a collage of hand-drawn objects—a woman at a worktable, a London bus, scissors, and patterned tiles—accompanied by handwritten notes, including the phrase “Stuck & desperate V&A will help.” Created by Pamela Howard in 2007, the contribution blends sketches with text to reflect the artist’s view of the museum’s role in providing inspiration and solutions. The page is part of a three-volume album containing 60 such submissions from invited artists, designers, and architects.

Pamela Howard kept a studio in the same London flat for 40 years, the walls crowded with sketches of the Thames at dawn.
