Viewing Thomas J Price at the V&A

Find yourself at the Victoria and Albert Museum for an eight-work exhibition from Thomas J Price. Deeply rooted in empathy and addressing the human condition today, Price’s figures celebrate connection and shared humanity, “I want people to recognise themselves and feel valued”, says Thomas J Price. A sculptor at a paramount moment in time when the notion of monuments is radically changing, Price defines a new value on the medium, bringing the focus back to the subject of the here and now. 
 
Creating arresting yet contemplative works depicting everyday people, these sculptures prompt viewers to reflect on their preconceptions about status and appearance. Popping up across the museum and sitting next to historical artworks, this display offers a new dimension to Price’s works, exploring the connectivity not only to one another and ourselves but also across time. Capturing a moment where Price’s works sit in dialogue with pre-Victorian busts or next to Vincenzo Foggini’s Samson and the Philistines, the audience is confronted with the development of human behaviour across the centuries. Worthy of a selfie, head to the V&A for an unmissable display.
