'Appropriated Alphabet Set' - A signed, limited edition set of 12 silkscreen prints by Peter Blake. Printed at Coriander Studios, published by CCA Galleries.

Appropriated Alphabets is a portfolio of twelve Alphabets created or
sourced from Blake's personal collection of printed ephemera. His
interest in letters and typography began whilst studying Art at
Gravesend Technical College (1949-51); Blake was given a thorough
grounding in a wide range of crafts including Roman lettering, hand
lettering, typography and typesetting. This training has seeped into
his work throughout his career with text often being an integral – or
the only – element of a piece. The use of ‘found letters’ or commercial
lettering in his work is something that Blake adopted in the 1950s;
allying himself with decorators, sign painters and commercial artists
rather than the fine art establishment and declaring himself a ‘pop’
artist. Blake has created several works based around the alphabet
during his career, including his 1991 pop culture alphabet and his 2007
nursery collage alphabet. His interest in the alphabet can be linked to
the exploration of childhood innocence and nostalgia that permeates his
work.
