We’re delighted to announce that a chapter on Emma Neuberg’s work features in a new V&A book, Plastics, Looking at the Future and Learning From the Past. The book takes a close look at all the artefacts in the V&A collections that are made of polymers and analyses their cultural meaning, role and value in the first century of plastics’ life.
The chapter on Emma’s work focusses on making plastics a precious material with cultural and mindful value for longevity, purpose and functionality.
For further details see International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art.
