‘I is for Idols’ forms part of a set of bold and colourful silkscreen prints produced in 1991, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each print adopts Peter Blake’s typical and unmissable style of working, incorporating ‘found’ imagery from magazines, postcards and popular ephemera. ‘I is for Idols’ sees a collage of figures from popular culture from screen legends, artists and musicians such as Francis Bacon, Laurel Hardy, The Beatles, Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, The Everly Brothers, Tony Curtis and Bette Midler. ‘I is for Idols’ is signed and numbered by the artist.
