Found Art, 1d Book is from Peter Blake s Found Art series, which he started in the 2000s. The collection embraces one of the earliest tenets of Pop Art, the idea that everyday objects can become the subject matter for fine art.
The subject of this piece is the front cover of a dime novel from the Frank Reade series, a collection of stories, published primarily for boys, which followed the adventures of a teenage inventor who made steam-powered robots.
The choice of such a subject is typical of Blake s oeuvre; combining nostalgia for childhood objects, an interest in popular entertainment and the use of rare printed materials from his personal collection.
This silkscreen print is from a limited edition of 25, signed by the artist.
