‘World Tour: London Regatta I’ - A signed, limited edition 24 colour silkscreen print with glosses and glazes by British pop artist Sir Peter Blake. Available individually or as part of the set of ten World Tour images.

At first glance this image has quite a haunting presence; giant bats circling the sky, echoing our expectations of the Tower of London. However, on closer examination we see that Blake has balanced this feeling by introducing a touch of levity in the foreground, with his inclusion of a motley and faintly ridiculous crew assembled on the deck of a ship, including oversized penguins, knights of the round table and sight-seeing sailors. Blake's recurring use of birds in the image is perhaps a reference to the famous ravens of the Tower. The plethora of boats on the river hint at a military force about to take on the defensive might of this London landmark, whilst also reminding us of all the prisoners who arrived at the tower by boat or royal barge.

Please note the print is subject to availability and prices may change.
