Whenever fans of music and music-related art are asked to pick a rock-era album cover “top 10”, there are albums that are always appearing at or near the top of these lists, with one seminal work of art – the cover collage designed by a team of talented people led by pop art superstar Peter Blake (now Sir Peter Blake) that’s found on the cover of The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band LP – being inevitably in the Top 3. Of course, Blake’s work is also found on other well-known album packages for The Who (Face Dances), Eric Clapton (24 Nights); Oasis (Stop The Clocks), Sweet Child for Pentangle and the soul-stirring collage for Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas?, the Live Aid-related famine relief fund-raising record, but art collectors from around the world have also long-appreciated the designer’s portfolio of work outside the music business, so this new retrospective print collection that will be on display in the gallery (through the 2^nd of July) will be what is perhaps the most extensive presentation of Blake’s work to date, featuring many of the iconic works that earned him the moniker ‘The Godfather of Pop Art’.
