Contribution to V&A's 150th anniversary album is a 2007 by Betty Jackson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In 2007 the Victoria and Albert Museum asked artists to mark its 150th birthday. Betty Jackson made a drawing for the special album. Her page was one of 150 contributions that year. Jackson chose drawing as her way to respond. The brief let artists use images or words, and she went with a visual page. Curious about the album itself? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Betty Jackson contributed a page to the V&A's 150th anniversary album in 2007, featuring printed text overlaid with a line drawing of a dress. The album, marking the museum's opening at South Kensington, invited 150 artists to express their inspiration from the V&A's collections through drawings, designs, or written messages. Jackson's submission combines typography with a minimalist fashion sketch. The page appears in volume two of the three-volume anniversary album.
