Peter Blake - In Print

Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, 30 Portman Square, London W1H 7BH
13 July - 11 October 2011

Candlestar presents Peter Blake – In Print, the sixth exhibition to emerge from a partnership with the luxury five-star hotel Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, the main hotel partner to the Frieze Art Fair. This retrospective exhibition is the first solo show in this ongoing partnership. Peter Blake, the Godfather of British Pop Art, has produced a plethora of iconic imagery, including, most notoriously the cover of The Beatles Sgt Pepper album.

Blake is best known for his striking and colourful collages, some which are beautifully and intricately detailed and neutrally coloured, while others are bolder, even brash, in their use of colour. Blake’s bolder work invites the viewer to share his sense of amazed awe at the many iconic celebrity figures who have fascinated him over his long career. They mark his own fascination with the lifestyle of his heroes.

This show is a rare occasion for Sir Peter to exhibit his work outside of a traditional gallery space.

All of the work featured in the exhibition is for sale and all sales enquiries should be directed to Candlestar:

The exhibition is produced in association with CCA Galleries
