Selling Exhibition Being Held at Pitzhanger Manor
Gallery ties up with For Arts Sake to offer original works
'Some of the Sources of Pop Art 7' by Peter Blake
December 12, 2024
Over a 150 pieces of original work on paper are to be offered for sale at an exhibition at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery.
In a partnership with Ealing gallery For Arts Sake, it is holding its first ever sale of this kind which will showcase the work of both established and emerging artists.
The display, which will be updated over the Christmas season, will feature various printmaking techniques, including limited editions and monoprints, screen prints, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, linocuts, as well as original paintings on paper, oil pastels, acrylics, and mixed media works. Many of the pieces are newly created or previously unseen, offering visitors an opportunity to purchase original framed art in the run-up to the festive season.
For Arts Sake has curated works on paper by renowned contemporary artists such as Sir Peter Blake, Bruce McLean and Dan Baldwin, alongside emerging talents like Kate Mary, Aline Gaiad and Marcus Aitken. Fellow Royal Academicians Barbara Rae, Donald Hamilton Fraser and Paul Huxley, will also be featured, to cater for a range of tastes and budgets starting from £88.
A highlight of the display is a limited edition silkscreen on paper by Sir Peter Blake, the Chiswick-based pop artist, best known for co-creating the iconic sleeve design for The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Sources of Pop Art 7 is a colourful montage featuring images from 1960s cultural icons including Elvis Presley, James Dean, Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe and Mickey Mouse. This rare silkscreen print has been created with high gloss, matt glazes, diamond dust and red glitter by the “Godfather of Pop Art”.
On the opening day, Saturday 14 December, visitors can also hop onboard the Peter Blake Art Bus, a mobile gallery designed by Blake himself. Decorated with vibrant pop art imagery, the bus will roll up and park at the entrance to Pitzhanger for one day only.

Other notable artists include Scottish sculptor and painter Bruce McLean, known for his bold performance art and vibrant prints, and Dan Baldwin, whose work blends abstract and figurative elements in dynamic silk screens. Printmaker Jess Wilson will also be showcasing a special Ealing themed work, exclusively made for For Arts Sake.
For Arts Sake will offer the Own Art scheme, offering interest-free credit. Visitors can spread the cost of their purchase over 10 months.
With every sale made, a proportion of the proceedings will go to funding Pitzhanger’s community projects and outreach programmes.
