Peter Blake (b. 1932) has remained constant and ground-breaking in his exploration of the medium of collage throughout his career spanning seven decades. With a foreword by Blake’s art school friend David Hockney, Peter Blake: Collage combines an illuminating essay, artist interview and numerous colour images in a playful design that captures the spirit of the octogenarian artist’s decades-long career and his significant contribution to this historic medium.

 

Introducing the volume, a new text essay by Patrick Elliott, Senior Curator at National Galleries Scotland, ‘Peter Blake & Collage’, takes a biographical route through Blake’s life. Also featured is ‘The Butterfly Man’, a conversation between Peter Blake and Natalie Rudd, Senior Curator of the Arts Council Collection and a friend of the artist. 

 

The publication of Peter Blake: Collage coincides with the opening of a new solo survey exhibition at Waddington Custot later this month. Titled Peter Blake: Time Travellerthe exhibition includes a number of important museum loans, bringing together historical pieces with new works on show for the first time.
