In 2000, Peter Blake curated the exhibition About Collage at Tate Liverpool which drew on his own, and Tate’s, collections to reveal the radical and far-reaching impact of collage on 20th-century art.
During the late 1950s, Blake became one of the best known British pop artists. His paintings from this time included imagery from advertisements, music hall entertainment, and wrestlers, often including collaged elements.
