Studio Tack Board 2 is a homage to Blakes infamous STUDIO TACK BOARD which was produced in the 1960s

On the anniversary of the CURWAN Press studio, “I was asked to produce an ART WORK for them. So I revisited the idea of a collection of Postcards that I had accumulated from my travels. I framed the idea in a Victorian and BRITISH COLONIAL JUBILEE Empire context”.

I referred back to that print, and using some of the original postcards, from a set called Salut De Constantinople so I made this lithograph Studio Tack Board 2." Peter Blake.

Sheet Size 74cm x 53cm.

In 1959, inspired by reproductions by Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, Blake began to paint collage-like pictures of pop musicians and film stars and to produce assemblages made of recycled material, postcards and other items.
