We recently delivered Richard McVetis brilliant work, ‘The Edge of Forever’, 2025 to its final home at the Victoria & Museum following their acquisition of the piece from Cavaliero Finn at Collect.
This acquisition is so well deserved and we’d like to thank the team at the V&A for their support of Richard’s work. A special mention of thanks goes to curator Victoria Bradley for this, featured above on delivery day. Victoria has visited ours and Richard’s exhibitions for a number of years, consistently championing his work.
Richard studied at Manchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art, where he is currently Interim Co-head of the Textiles programme. He has been shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize (2023), Jerwood Drawing Prize (2011, 2017), and Loewe Craft Prize (2018). As well as being regularly featured in Cavaliero Finn’s annual programme of events, Richard’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including Threads at Arnolfini (2023), the British Textile Biennial (2021), RENEW at Kettle’s Yard (2019), the Loewe Craft Prize at the Design Museum (2018), and Form + Motion with the British Council in South Korea (2017). In 2022, he held a solo show at the Craft Study Centre, Farnham. His recent awards include Bronze at Cheongju Craft Biennale, South Korea (2025), A-N Bursary (2025) and Cove Park Awarded Residency (2025/26). In addition to this most recent acquisition by the V&A, Richard’s work is held in the Korean Craft Museum and the Huddersfield Art Gallery.
The Edge of Forever was featured by Cavaliero Finn at Collect 2025 at Somerset House.
