About this work

Anish Kapoor gave the Victoria and Albert Museum a single photograph for its 150th birthday album in 2007. The museum invited 150 artists to contribute one page each. They could use any medium they liked. Kapoor’s page was a photo. It wasn’t a drawing or a sketch. Just one image to show what the V&A meant to him. Look up Anish Kapoor next.

The story of this work

Overview

Anish Kapoor’s contribution to the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 150th anniversary album consists of a page featuring photographs of his own sculptures alongside an image of the Ardabil carpet, accompanied by printed text in the upper left corner. The page was created as part of a project inviting 150 artists, designers, and architects to reflect on the museum’s collections and legacy. The album, produced in three volumes, includes 60 such pages, each combining visual and written responses to the V&A’s holdings.
