Contribution to V&A's 150th anniversary album is a 2007 by Nitin Sawhney, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Nitin Sawhney drew a page for the V&A’s 150th birthday album in 2007. The museum asked artists to pick one object or idea that meant the most to them. He chose a drawing to answer. The album became a time capsule of 150 different creative voices. Each page shows how one person connects to the museum’s long history. Look next at artist Sawhney, Nitin.
The page contributed to the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 150th anniversary album features a central drawing of a man’s head alongside a printed message on the right, with the phrase “ANARCHY IN THE V&A” positioned at the bottom. Created in June 2007 as part of a project marking the museum’s opening at its South Kensington site, the contribution reflects the artist’s response to the V&A’s collections and legacy. The album includes 150 such pages by leading figures, compiled across three volumes, each expressing personal inspiration in visual or written form.

Nitin Sawhney holed up in his London studio late at night, cigarette smoke curling around stacks of sketchbooks he never opened in daylight.
