British Design 1948-2012: Innovation in the Modern Age
英國設計1948-2012: 摩登時代的創新

 The V&A’s major spring exhibition showcases the best of British design and creative talent from the 1948 ‘Austerity Olympics’ to the summer of 2012.
It is the first comprehensive exhibition to examine the ways in which artists and designers who were born, trained or working in the UK have produced innovative and internationally acclaimed works from post-war to the present day. Ranging from the Morris Mini Minor (1959) to a newly commissioned model of Zaha Hadid’s London Aquatics Centre (2011), the objects on display aim to reinforce Britain’s status as a global leader in design.

British Design 1948-2012 tells the story of British fashion, furniture, fine art, graphic design, photography, ceramics, architecture and industrial products over the past 60 years. Highlighting significant moments in the history of British design, the exhibition looks at how the country continues to nurture artistic talent, as well as investigate the role that Britain’s manufacturing industry has played in the global market. It also examines the impact that Britain’s ideas-driven, creative economy has had on goods and design industries worldwide.

Martin Roth, Director of the V&A, said: ‘As people around the world will
be focusing on the UK in the summer of 2012, this is an ideal moment to showcase British innovation, taste and creativity. We are also delighted to be hosting a series of British themed displays across all the collections in the Museum to accompany the major spring exhibition.’
