Sir Peter Thomas Blake, KBE, RDI, RA (born 25 June 1932) is an English pop artist,
best known for co-creating the sleeve design for the Beatles'
album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. He
lives in Chiswick, London.
Sir
Peter Blake is one the country’s most enduringly popular and important living
artists and he has collected since childhood.
is
astonishing collections include Victorian collage and folk art, pop ephemera,
works by his artist friends, showbiz autographs and marching troupes of toy
elephants. They include such such strange and wonderful things as General Tom
Thumb’s boots, Max Miller’s shoes and Ian Dury’s Rhythm Stick and the
exhibition at the Holburne will explore the creative relationship that Blake
has with this cabinet of curiosities.
Pete Blake’s collection of white objects is my favorite. I have chosen to
collect white objects myself although his objects have much more meaning to
them than mine. I should of taken more inspiration from peter Blake in terms of
the actual objects I choose because his collection is very sentimental as he
has been collection from childhood I think that is what makes it so
interesting.
