Giclee print with silkscreen varnish. Hand signed and numbered in pencil by the artist, recto. // From a 1949 Fairplay magazine page — John Readhead & Sons Ltd, South Shields shipbuilders advertising over four generations of merchant vessels — Blake builds his border of national flags around the original cursive 'Readheads' heading, two black-and-white photographs of cranes and a steamer, and the gentlemanly typographic columns. Giclée print with silkscreen varnish, hand-signed and numbered in pencil recto. A characteristic Blake collage: archive, flag, nostalgia, civic pride. The Great North Run dedication anchors it in his beloved North-East roots — a confident piece to acquire from the godfather of British Pop.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
