Heralded as the ‘Godfather of Pop Art’, Sir Peter Blake was knighted in 2002 for his invaluable contribution to contemporary art.
Blake began his career creating collages from photographs, cigarette packets and matchboxes. This new approach to the creation of visual art – taking found imagery from Pop culture – was spearheaded in Britain by Blake and continues to inspire contemporary artists today.
Best known for creating the iconic cover to the Beatles’ 1967 album ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, Blake continues to produce work that draws extensively on elements from popular cultures around the world.
To honour an incredible career (and to celebrate Blake's 92nd Birthday) Enter Gallery Presents: Peter Blake - A Print Retrospective - Our most extensive show to date of Blake's work, spanning all the disciplines for which he is best known, including collage, typography, found art and more.
