V&A Magazine - Spring 2023

The spring issue of V&A Magazine explores the groundbreaking art of Donatello and asks precisely what drove Renaissance artists forward. An exquisite set of cut-glass tumblers sheds light on art deco in east Asia, Hew Locke speaks about a sculpture made from a royal souvenir bust and the histories it invokes, and the jeweller Ruth Tomlinson offers a personal take on preciousness. The untold story of tartan emerges as V&A Dundee turns five while Susie Boyt ponders all-white attire and Glenn Adamson tours Europe's historic craft ateliers.
