A Grand Design: The Art of the Victoria and Albert Museum

- - Product Description: A Grand Design was published to accompany the highly successful exhibition which toured around five cities of North America with a finale at the V&A in 1999. Lavish and informative, A Grand Design brings together over 250 of the Museum's greatest treasures to celebrate the institution's unique and profoundly rich and vibrant history. The unrivalled collections span centuries of art in virtually every medium: ceramics, metalwork, jewellery, furniture, sculpture, textiles and paintings. The finest examples have been selected to illustrate how the V&A museum has always sought to establish a canon for the decorative arts, through the continuous acquisition of objects of superior craftsmanship and artistic merit from all over the world. A lively illustrated chronology, using rare archival material, is also included.
