Contribution to V&A's 150th anniversary album is a 2007 by Jan Kaplicky, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In 2007 the V&A asked 150 artists to mark its 150th birthday with one page for an album. Jan Kaplicky drew his page instead of writing. The brief let them use almost any style or medium. Kaplicky chose drawing. His page joined photos, prints and words from others in the album. It sits with the rest of the book today. Look next at Kaplicky, Jan.
Jan Kaplický’s contribution to the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 150th anniversary album consists of a single page combining visual and textual elements. The design reflects his architectural perspective, integrating abstract forms with references to the museum’s collections and history. The page was produced as part of a larger commemorative project featuring contributions from 150 artists and designers. It is included in volume two of a three-volume album compiled for the occasion.

Jan Kaplicky never carried a straightedge—he sketched skyscrapers on napkins while waiting for soup.
