Peter Blake at Christie’s: 60 Years of Printmaking, by maroom on Jul 8, 2010 23:40:57 GMT 1, Christie's South Kensington, 85 Old Brompton Road, London
Event Date: 23 July - 12 August 2010
A celebration of Sir Peter Blake’s printmaking achievements, this comprehensive retrospective spans works from 1950 to the present day. For the first time works from all of his main print publishers: Kip Gresham, Waddington Graphics, Alan Cristea, Coriander Studio, Paul Stolper and CCA Galleries will be on display together at Christie’s South Kensington.
For Sir Peter, this exhibition not only reveals his abiding interest in the various print mediums, but also how he has embraced technological advances in printmaking through the use of computers and scanners to extract maximum detail and impact from his collage and ‘found art’ work. This exhibition showcases his vision as an artist and printmaker over 60 years.
You can read more about Sir Peter Blake in this interview with Nic McElhatton, Chairman of Christie’s South Kensington, who recently visited the artist in his studio. From the myriad of elephants, to the collection of moths, to his famous alphabets, to the life-size model of Sonny Liston, the effect is the artistic equivalent to a child being let loose in Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
Exhibition Viewing Times:
23 July - 12 August 2010
Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Saturday & Sunday 10am - 4pm
*Monday 26th July 9am - 7:30pm
This exhibition is free and open to the public.

I must say that the invite is very nicely designed.
Unfortunately I can't make that but will make sure I get along at some point.
Bit of a shame it's only open 9 to 5 during the week though.
