Seller's Description:
Iceberg I (From the Venice Suite Portfolio), 2009
Silkscreen on 400 Gsm Somerset tub sized paper
8.3 X 5.3 in. (21 x 13.5 cm)
Signed on recto

‘Venice has been an inspiring place for me since my first visit in 1957 on a scholarship. I spend my life collecting images, newspaper cuttings and vintage postcards, which find their way into my work, and Venice has proven to be a treasure-trove of material. I returned to the city in 2007 and found some beautiful embroideries and illustrations which will become part of future works’ - Sir Peter Blake

This print is from the “Venice Suite,” which was inspired by Sir Peter Blake’s trip to Venice in 2007 for the Biennale. Working in his characteristic collage style, Blake incorporates modern images of the city with traditional images from postcards, vintage books, and other various sources. Using a vibrant color palette, and surreal imagery such as icebergs and penguins, Blake creates a fantastical and playful view of the city.

Art Market Data

Peter Blake Price Development
  • More About this Chart

    • The chart shows the annual average premium prices of lots sold by the artist, which are calculated by dividing the total sales volume of the premium prices of all lots sold by the number of lots sold. For 2009, the data included in the calculations is current through the 15th of June. The charts will be updated every three months.

      The data is culled from the artnet Price Database, which has collected auction sales results for over twenty years.

      Prices are stated in USD in order to facilitate comparison and analysis of the market reports. When sales took place in another currency, the conversion of that amount into USD was done on the basis of the average conversion rate applicable on the day of the sale.

      Although most auction houses these days report transactions in prices that include a buyer’s premium, some auction houses report only the hammer price. Based on an analysis of historical auction catalogs, we apply a formula to all records with hammer prices to estimate the effect of a buyer’s premium. All prices used in the charts are either reported in or equated to hammer price plus buyer’s premium.
