We are proud to announce the release of 10 exclusive new editions with Sir Peter Blake, in collaboration with Opus Gallery . These new prints celebrate the 30th anniversary of the world's most iconic half marathon, and the heritage of running.
These
giclee prints with silkscreen varnish measure 13.5 x 16.5 inches each,
from signed editions of 75, and were printed at Coriander Studio,
London.
Edition numbers 1-25/75 are only available to buy as full portfolios, with colophon page and custom-made cloth-bound case, from £5,000, and the remainder of the edition are available to buy individually, from £600 each. The price of the prints will be increased as the editions sell out.
Sir Peter's Running Suite features found objects and images, many
from the archive of the Bupa Great North Run. Prints in the series
include Brendan,
which features a 1964-65 season programme for Gateshead Harries, the
athletics club that run founder Brendan Foster was part of, Four Runners , compiled of cigarette cards, and Tackboard,
featuring Sir Christopher Chataway and the South Shields crest - the
town where the race ends and also where Peter Blake's mother was born.
