‘World Tour: Chicago, Boating’ - A signed, limited edition 24 colour silkscreen print with gloss and glaze by British pop artist Sir Peter Blake. Available individually or as part of the set of ten World Tour images.
Blake takes a break from Europe and hops over to Chicago for a spot of boating. The boats themselves are particularly American; with a paddle steamer emblazoned with the word 'Iowa' visible in the background, and a motor boat with 'America' painted on its hull in the middle-ground. The boats are also reminiscent of the many who emigrated across the sea for a better life in the United Sates. This feeling is heightened by the figure of a man paddling on a makeshift raft in the foreground, and the array of international costume worn by some of the passengers.
