Sir Peter Blake at Christie's
Beware – I have lots of Sir Peter Blake-related stuff this week, but for sake of turning Modculture into an art site, I'm spinning it out, kikcing off with Peter Blake at Christie’s: 60 Years of Printmaking. Christie's has got together with Blake's main print publishers – Kip Gresham, Waddington […]
