Sir Peter Thomas Blake CBE RDI RA (1932) is an English artist and a prominent figure in the Pop Art movement.
Peter Blake attended the Gravesend Technical College and the Royal College of Art. Blake’s proto-pop pieces – which jauntily juxtapose images from magazine ads, music posters, wrestling bills, matchboxes and the work of other artists – were included in several watershed group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts during the late 1950s. In 1961, he participated in the legendary Young Contemporaries exhibition alongside David Hockney and R.B. Kitaj
From the 1970s to today, Blake has enjoyed regular gallery and institutional exhibitions, frequently designing posters for the shows as well as pieces for national magazines and newspapers. Blake’s work has been accessioned into the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate in London and the National Museum Cardiff, among many other important institutions
