A special focus on Sir Peter Blake this month. Two of the three editions featured are brand new, but our last chance to buy is focusing on them being a 'last chance to buy at the original price'!

Sir Peter Blake - 'Matchboxes II'

Creating a pair with Matchboxes (2011), Blake’s new work features more of his collection of rare, antique, novelty and international matchboxes. This time the matchboxes are presented on a warm red background, complementing the blue used in the earlier work. Turning this collection into a piece of fine art harks back to the key tenets of Pop art: that everyday objects should be viewed with a fresh perspective; as valuable and beautiful. This piece has just been released (20 April) and as such is available for purchase at the pre-publication price.

Sir Peter Blake - 'Eiffel Tower'

Here Blake guides us through the city of light with a certain sense of whimsical and comedic style. He creates this composition through collage offering up and portraying the delicate sentimentality of the Eiffel Tower. Blake once again finds inspiration in the pages of his Larousse illustrated dictionary and animal husbandry manuals; juxtaposing the best of Parisian architecture with an eclectic selection of beautiful illustrations of butterfly, bird and beast. Though these images are packed full of unexpected and out of place content, Blake somehow captures the essence of Paris; that joie de vivre and spirit of bohemianism and surrealism that pervades the air. This print has sold out completely from the publisher and is extremely rare to get hold of. We have only one available.

Sir Peter Blake - 'American Trilogy 2012 - Set of 3 prints'

Three American icons: the stars and stripes, Elvis Presley and Coca Cola are combined to create American Trilogy, a classic pop art image by Sir Peter Blake. American Trilogy celebrates the roots of Pop Art; featuring imagery that represents the power of mass consumer products and popular culture, and reflecting the fact the America lead mass culture revolution in the 1950s. There are three versions of this silkscreen print; all feature embossing and hand-applied gold or silver leaf, and two are finished with diamond dust. This repetition of imagery with a slight variation on colour or surface texture is reminiscent of the work of Andy Warhol, and serves the double purpose of reflecting the endless ‘sameness’ of mass production and rooting American Trilogy deep in the Pop Art tradition. These pieces have just been released (20 April) and as such is available for purchase at the pre-publication price.
