Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery in West London has announced a major exhibition, "Peter Blake: In the Studio," scheduled to run from November 2026 to April 2027. The landmark show will feature a full-scale recreation of the artist’s Hammersmith workspace, providing an immersive look at the environment where the 'Godfather of British Pop Art' conceived his most famous works. The exhibition will span seven decades of Blake's career, showcasing paintings, collages, and sculptures alongside his personal collection of curiosities and memorabilia.
This exhibition is significant for its deep contextualization of Blake within the cultural fabric of West London and the broader history of British art. By staging the show at Pitzhanger Manor, curators are drawing direct parallels between Blake’s modern Pop sensibility and the satirical tradition of William Hogarth, whose work was historically housed in the same building. The project highlights Blake's dual legacy as both a pioneering artist and a prolific collector, reinforcing his role in shaping the visual identity of post-war Britain.
