A Higher Ambition: Owen Jones (1809–74)
V&A South Kensington
Cromwell Road
London, SW7 2RL England, United Kingdom
his display traces Owen Jones's unique contributions to Victorian design reform; from his early studies of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra Palace, through to his designs for the 1851 Great Exhibition building, the publication of the Grammar of Ornament (one of the most important design sourcebooks of all time) and his influence in the founding of the South Kensington Museum.
The V&A holds the world's most comprehensive collection of Owen Jones material, and on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth, this is the first ever monographic display or exhibition to look at the contribution of Owen Jones to architecture, design and color theory. Now to November 22, 2009
