Supported by the Friends of the V&A Exhibitions, Room 39 and North Court
£10 Adults £ 8 Seniors £ 6 Students, 12-17 yrs, ES40 Holders Members go free.
This exhibition will showcase the V&A's collection of patchwork and quilted covers to
bring together over 300 years of British quilting history, from the spectacular bed
hangings and silk coverlets of the 18th century, to the creative reinvention of the quilt
by contemporary artists.
Grace Kelly: Style Icon
Photograph by Erwin Blumenfeld, New York, 1955.
Copyright The Estate of Erwin Blumenfeld 2009.
17 April - 26 September 2010 Fashion, Room 40 Admission charge will apply
The spectacular wardrobe of Grace Kelly will be on display at the V&A.
Tracing the evolution of her style from her days as one of Hollywoods most popular
actresses in the 1950s and as Princess Grace of Monaco, the display will present over
50 of Grace Kelly's outfits together with hats, jewellery and the original Hermès
Kelly bag. Dresses from her films, including High Society, will be shown as well as the
gown she wore to accept her Oscar award in 1955. These will be accompanied by film
clips and posters, photographs and her Oscar statuette. The display will also include the
lace ensemble worn by Grace Kelly for her civil marriage ceremony to Prince Rainier in
1956 and 35 haute couture gowns from the 1960s and 70s by her favourite couturiers
Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Yves St Laurent.
The Half by Simon Annand
Daniel Craig Photo Simon Annand 25 January – 11 April 2010
Theatre and Performance, Room 104 Free admission
This display will showcase the work of Simon Annand, photographer of leading actors
in the West End for the last 20 years. It provides a rare glimpse into the dressing rooms
of actors in the precious, private few moments before the show: The Half.
This half an hour before curtain up is used for focus and concentration and is strictly private.
All members of the public are required to leave. Whatever has gone on during the day,
the actor must use this time to make a transition into the fictional character of the play.
There is no escape. These photographs pay tribute to the dedication of stage actors and
reveal not only technical skills but also aspects of a very personal nightly ritual.
The Metropolitan Police Service's Investigation of Fakes and Forgeries
The Amarna Princess, created in Bolton 2003, sold for £440,000 and seized by the
Metropolitan Police Service’s Art & Antiques Unit in 2006
23 January – 7 February 2010 Rooms 17a & 18a Free admission
In this display, The Metropolitan Police Service's Art and Antiques Unit will showcase
some of the investigative methods involved in detecting and preventing the increasingly
sophisticated crime of art forgery. Using historical and contemporary criminal cases,
the broader financial and cultural impacts of art forgery on modern society are considered.
Exhibits will include the diverse body of work assembled by the forger, Shaun Greenhalgh,
who executed such fake "masterpieces" as the Egyptian Amarna princess and paintings
purporting to be the work of the English artist, L.S. Lowry.
My Generation: The Glory Years of British Rock
Jimi Hendrix Photo Harry Goodwin
30 April – 24 October 2010 Theatre and Performance, Room 104 Free admission
Top of the Pops was launched by the BBC on New Year's Day in 1964, and went on to
become the longest-running TV show in British history. On that night the Rolling Stones
were the opening band; the photographer was Harry Goodwin. This display will bring
together 200 of Harry Goodwin's most striking and memorable photographs, from a
shocked Bob Dylan (temporarily blinded by Harry's flash in punishment for grumpiness)
to a dramatic shot of Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar with his teeth. These images capture
the mood and style of the 60s and 70s, and the impact of its musical stars. They celebrate
those who are still actively part of the contemporary music scene and those who are
remembered with veneration and affection. As the show's resident photographer
from 1964 to 1973, Harry Goodwin's unique collection of photographs remembers them all.
Horace Walpole and Strawberry Hill
The Walpole Cabinet, designed by Horace Walpole and William Kent, cabinet attributed to
William Hallett, figures by J.F. Verskovis and medallions by Andrea Pozzo, 1743.
Museum no. W.52-1925 6 March - 4 July 2010 Admission charge will apply
This will be the first major exhibition on Horace Walpole, the most important English
collector of the eighteenth century, and will bring together many of his most remarkable
objects. Walpole was the first to systematically assemble the visual evidence of English
history, and the first to recognise the importance of the portrait miniature to the history
of British art.
A Fairyland of Flowers: Beatrix Potter and Cicely Mary Barker
Cicely Mary Barker (1895–1973)
Illustration of the Pink Fairies for Flower Fairies of the Garden 1944.
Reproduction of Flower Fairy illustrations, © The Estate of Cicely Mary Barker,
2009 21 December 2009 – 14 June 2010 Leighton, Room 102 Free admission
This small display will feature illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker.
In her fascination with natural history and scientific observation, Barker has often been
associated with Beatrix Potter. Both were strongly influenced by what Potter described
as the Pre-Raphaelites' 'niggling but absolutely genuine admiration for copying natural
details'. Their principal concern was to explore the world of the imagination while
remaining faithful to the true likeness of things. Sketching always from life,
Barker and Potter show a keen eye for natural beauty and a botanist's concern for
scientific accuracy.
Gargoyles and Shadows: Gothic Architecture and 19th-Century Photography
Photograph, Westminster, with The Henry VII Chapel and Clock Tower of
The Houses of Parliament, Stephen Ayling, U.K., about 1869
7 January – 16 May 2010 Architecture, Room 128a Free admission
Drawing on the V&A's rich holdings of 19th-century photographs, this display will examine
the relationship that developed between photography and architectural practice in the 19th
century and explore how photography facilitated the re-discovery of an idealised past.
The display will also address the role played by photography in the recording of buildings
before demolition and its use as a tool for preserving the national architectural heritage.
Contemporary Architecture
Chashitsu Tetsu, Terunobu Fujimori, 2005 8 June - 30 August 2010 The Porter Gallery
and throughout the Museum Free admission
The V&A is commissioning a group of international architects to build a series of structures
throughout the Museum which will respond to the theme of the 'retreat'. The starting point
for these experimental projects will be the idea of a small enclosed space representing an
escape from the chaos of urban life to an area for peace, contemplation, shelter or creativity.
One of the central aims of the exhibition is to move away from explaining architecture
through drawings and models and instead allow the visitor to experience the architecture
itself.

Design For Life
Handbag design incorporating architectural lines from the V&A, Holly Cowan. Photo Irini Papadimitriou. 26 April – 6 June 2010 Rooms 17a & 18a Free admission See handbags, lighting, cutlery and many other products created by young people and inspired by museum collections, in this display. Working with professional designers, these young people took part in the Design For Life project, developing their talents and acquiring new skills. Design For Life is a partnership project led by the V&A with Bolton Museum and Archive Service, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Manchester City Art Gallery, Museums Sheffield and the Shipley Art Gallery, Tyne & Wear. It is part of the DCMS/DCSF strategic commissioning programme.
Shadow Catchers
Invocation, Adam Fuss, 1992. Museum no. E.693-1993 12 October 2010 - 23 January 2011 The Porter Gallery Admission charge will apply Shadow Catchers will present the work of five international artists who, for the last twenty years or more, have been challenging the assumption that a camera is necessary to make a photograph. By casting shadows on light sensitive paper or chemically manipulating its surface these artists seemingly capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. The results are exciting images often with surreal or abstract effects and symbolic content. These camera-less techniques were explored at the dawn of photography and have now been rediscovered by contemporary image makers. On display will be unique and beautifully crafted works by Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neusüss.
Designers of the Future
Design student in the Cast Courts Photo by Rebecca Reynolds 15 June – 31 July 2010 Room 220, Sackler Centre Free admission This display will showcase work by art and design students from the University of Brighton and the Royal College of Art inspired by the V&A and its collections. A related conference exploring museum and higher education collaboration will take place in July 2010. In partnership with the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD)
Objects of Luxury: French porcelain of the eighteenth century
Sugar basin and cover, Saint-Cloud, about 1700-20, Museum no. 487-1909 18 September 2009 - end May 2010 Room 146 Free admission Celebrate one of the most exciting discoveries of the 18th century in this display. Known as 'white gold', porcelain was produced for use in all aspects of fashionable public and private life; from banquets to boudoirs, from tea drinking to the toilette. The sensuous charm of the 'soft-paste' porcelain produced in France earned it universal admiration. This display will introduce the major French factories, including the Royal Porcelain Manufacture at Sèvres, and will demonstrate the wide variety of objects they could provide for their fashionable clientele.
Richard Slee: From Utility to Futility
Richard Slee, Philosophy, 2008. Photo by Zul Mukhida. 5 June 2010 - 3 April 2011 Room 146 Free admission Richard Slee is a renowned British artist who has built up an international reputation. For this display, he will present new works specifically for the two large wall cases and three free-standing cases in the Ceramics galleries. While Slee's primary medium remains ceramics, he has ventured into other materials, processes, and subject matter. With characteristic irony, these latest works will explore such themes as the demise of male DIY, and the shift in the crafts from items of everyday utility to autonomous art objects.
The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement in Britain, 1860-1900
Portrait of Mrs. Luke lonides, William Blake Richmond, England, early 20th century. Museum no. E.1062-2003. April - July 2011 Admission charge will apply This will be the first international exhibition to explore the unconventional creativity of the Aesthetic Movement in Britain (1860-1900). The well spring of the 'new art' movements of the late 19th century, Aestheticism is now acknowledged for its revolutionary re-negotiation of the relationships between the artist and society, between the 'fine' and design arts, as well as between art and ethics and art and criticism.
Postmodernism
'Casablanca', sideboard, Ettore Sottsass, made by Memphis, 1981. Museum no. W.14-1990 24 September 2011 - 8 January 2012 Rooms 38 and 39, and North Court Admission charge will apply The ideas of Postmodernism emerged first in architecture. While the Modernist slogan had been 'less is more', architects like Robert Venturi, Michael Graves and Aldo Rossi insisted that 'less is a bore'. They took a new interest in buildings from the past, and from popular phenomena such as highway strip malls. Though few of these early Postmodern buildings were actually constructed, the ideas forwarded by this "paper architecture" became hugely influential on everything from furniture to graphics. The exhibition will also look at the popular side of Postmodernism, especially the music of the time: raves, New Wave, Hip-hop and graffiti art. With the help of the new design medium of the pop-promo video, the new Postmodern celebrities-like Grace Jones, Boy George and Madonna-became famous, most of all, for being famous. Their relationship to the media was more self-conscious, more ironic, and more artfully designed than the popular culture icons of any previous period. The exhibition ends on a spectacular note, with a section devoted to the boom years of the 1980s, in London and New York, across Europe, and in East Asia, Latin America and Africa. Wherever you went, speed, excess, and fame were the key words of the moment. Design was big business. Now it was not just architects who thought that More was More.
