Sir
Peter Blake adds to his ‘found art’ series with 'Winston', '24 Flags',
'Vera Puzzle' and 'Playmates'. The series is based upon one of the
earliest tenets of pop art: that everyday objects can become the subject
matter for fine art (imagine Warhol’s soup cans etc. ). However, Blake
does not choose dominant commercial brands to focus upon; his interest
is ‘found art’ meaning found objects that most people would consider to
be valueless eg. old cigarette packets, the packaging of old children’s
games, match boxes etc. This fascination with arcane and unusual objects
is of course at the centre of his collecting instinct; his studio is
famed for being closer to a museum of popular culture objects and
printed ephemera than a typical artist’s studio.
