‘World Tour: Paris- Mugging’ - A signed, limited edition 24 colour silkscreen print with glosses and glazes by British pop art legend Sir Peter Blake. Available individually or as part of the set of ten World Tour images.
Blake's takes a comical approach to the dangers of city life. Though we see poverty-stricken travellers in the background, Punch and Judy-esque take the centre stage with their arrest taking place in the foreground. Blake chooses to set his 'mugging' in front of the Paris Bourse (stock exchange) giving the whole image a new layer of meaning: the corruption of financial institutions and the evils of money.
Please note the print is subject to availability and prices may change.
