Royal Academy, London
After the commercial success of a retrospective on the designer Gianni Versace at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Royal Academy staged a similar event around his compatriot, Giorgio Armani. The exhibition offered more than 400 pieces spanning a career of almost 30 years, alongside sketches, photographs and videos.
It was first in the museum's new gallery in Burlington Gardens, an ornate Victorian building that was refurbished as part of a £40m project designed to double the exhibition space. As part of the refurbishment, RCL was asked to supply a number of naroow beam DR2 spotlights to light a function room linked to the exhibition. RCL’s patented ‘Select & Direct’ technology allows the space to be optimised for each event.
