I is for Idols Supply

This silkscreen print is from Peter Blake s 1991 Alphabet Series, which is inspired by people and objects who have made their mark on British popular leisure culture.

Widely considered to be one of his finest series of work, the collection epitomises Blake s signature style, namely the use of found imagery sourced from magazines, postcards and other popular ephemera.

In I for Idols, Blake creates a grid of photographs depicting some of the most popular performers of our time, including Bette Midler, John Lennon, Tony Curtis and Shirley Temple. Known as the Godfather of Pop Art , this piece further cements Blake s fascination with the celebrities that define a generation.
