Back in the early 2000s, Peter Blake created a series of paintings in homage to artist and writer, Marcel Duchamp. The paintings imagined Duchamp in a variety of unusual situations, including playing chess with Tracey Emin and hanging out with the Spice Girls.
This piece is one third of Blake s latest series depicting Duchamp – Marcel Duchamp s World Tour. Each piece in the series imagines his subject attending three fantastical events during a stay in Blackpool. In this artwork, Duchamp is an honoured guest at a reunion of DC Thomson characters, including Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, Minnie the Minx and the Bash Street Kids.
Blake s reverence for the French-American artist is down to his mission statement that anything an artist does can be considered art. This philosophy has been pivotal to Blake s career, as well as to the careers of prominent YBAs; Hirst, Emin and Quinn.
The print is part of a limited edition of 100, signed by the artist.
