Homage to Rauschenberg II- signed limited edition collaged silkscreen print with gold leaf, diamond dust, embossing and glazes by pop artist Sir Peter Blake. From a series of five silkscreen prints created as a tribute to Robert Rauschenberg, whose work has inspired Peter Blake througout his career,
'Robert Rauschenberg was an enormous influence on me in the mid 1950s. My 'Rauschenbergs' are a very formalised version of his work. I made no attempt to assimilate his beautiful, almost 'Abstract Expressionistic' use of paint. '
Homage to Rauschenberg II continues the theme of childhood games that runs throughout the series featuring a chess board. It also features classic pop art motifs such as advertising excerpts and the American flag.
