History & Provenance

Commissioned for the V&A's 150th anniversary in 2007, the drawing was part of a celebratory album. It was selected and included among contributions from fifty other artists (not fifty total, as the initial fifty mentioned seems to be an error given the 150 total contributors).

Legacy

As part of the V&A's anniversary album, the drawing becomes a document of the museum's impact at a specific moment in time. Its legacy is intertwined with the archival and celebratory nature of the project rather than standing as an independently renowned work in Logan's oeuvre.
