About this work

Michael Rowe drew a page for the V&A’s 150th-birthday album in 2007. The brief let artists pick any mark on paper—sketch, graphic, even words. He chose a drawing to share what inspires him. The V&A invited 150 creators to mark its move to South Kensington in 1857. Each page became part of a keepsake album. See how other artists responded by looking up Victoria and Albert Museum.
