‘F is for Football’ 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. ‘F is for Football’ is created from a collage of antique cigarette cards featuring football and rugby players and around the edges of the piece are badges from various teams. ‘F is for Football’ encompasses Peter Blake’s love for collection and interest in sport as a cultural force for the masses. ‘F is for Football’ is signed and numbered by the artist.
