'&'- A signed, limited edition silkscreen print with gold leaf and glazes by Sir Peter Blake, and part of the 'Homage to Schwitters' set.
'&' is from a series of six prints titled 'Homage to Schwitters', which was inspired by the collage work of Kurt Schwitters in the first half of the 20th century. Blake showcases his fascination with popular retro-emphemera, from advertisements and postcards, to luggage labels champagne foil. '&' is a feast of visual detail. This piece features the use of gold leaf as well as various glazes, giving the surface great texture.
