Peter Blake and Pop Music
Peter Blake, The Beatles 1962|



A major exhibition to celebrate the 80th birthday of the godfather of Pop Art, Sir Peter Blake , bringing together important paintings, collages and prints from across his career.

Peter Blake has been closely linked with pop music since the 1950s. Not only has he painted images inspired by his musical heroes such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Bo Diddley but he has also worked closely with musicians and bands including Oasis, The Who and Eric Clapton to create some of the most iconic album covers of the last 50 years. This exhibition draws on the extensive collection of British Pop Art at Pallant House Gallery and will feature loans from public and private collections across the UK.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a display of works by Artist Pop Stars such as David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, John Lennon, Patti Smith, Ian Dury and their contemporaries
