Reviews

"Stars and stripes, hearts and targets - if Peter Blake's name is not the first thing you spot on the cover of the latest addition to the Antique Collectors' Club's highly regarded 'Design' series, the Pop motifs in the background positively shout it" Eye, Winter 2010/2011 "This, the latest title in the ACC's highly acclaimed 'design' series of hardback pocket books, largely leaves his fine art work to one side - concentrating instead on his commercial work" Nude magazine, December 2010
