Sir Peter Blake - New Releases

Two new limited edition releases have just been launched by the legendary Sir Peter Blake. It is difficult to know where to start when trying to introduce new people to Peter Blake and his work as his career and achievements are so vast - maybe describing him as the Godfather of Brit Pop and mentioning the iconic album cover to The Beatles Sgt Pepper album will suffice as a brief introduction.

The two new releases include the Second Real Target 25 Years Later and Marilyn Monroe Black.

Sir Peter Blake's work reflects his fascination with all streams of popular culture, and the beauty to be found in everyday objects and surroundings. Many of his works feature found printed materials such as photographs, comic strips or advertising texts, combined with bold geometric patterns and the use of primary colours. The works perfectly capture the effervescent and optimistic ethos of the sixties, but are also strikingly fresh and contemporary. There is also a strain of sentimentality and nostalgia running throughout his work, with particular focus towards childhood innocence and reminiscence, as can be seen clearly in his recent Alphabet series. Blake is renowned for his connection with the music industry, having produced iconic album covers for the Beatles, Paul Weller, The Who, and Oasis.
