Peter Blake: Alphabets, Letters & Numbers

This stunning exhibition by Peter Blake comprises three print series, Alphabet (1991), An Alphabet (2007) and Appropriated Alphabets (2013), and a personally chosen selection of related original artworks. Throughout his career, Sir Peter Blake has created works based around the alphabet, making assemblages from vintage cards, magazines, books and found ephemera. Often referred to as the ‘Godfather of British Pop Art’, Sir Peter Blake’s work crosses generational divides. Knighted in 2002, and with his work represented in major collections throughout the world, Sir Peter Blake is a grandee of British Art. Alphabet (1991) is comprised of 26 silk-screen prints that manifests Blake’s ongoing fascination with pop culture. An Alphabet (2007) is a feast of found imagery and typography in which each work represents a different letter of the alphabet. Appropriated Alphabets (2013) presents twelve individual alphabets that includes objects of personal memory, such as a bus ticket collected by Blake from a trip to Utah.
