Peter Blake   Cover for 'TV Guide', USA, 18 November 1995  Collage 27,8 x 19 cm  “There are a few iconic 20th century images that almost everyone will recognise. One of them is the cover of the Beatles eighth studio album. This sensational album, which heralded a significant shift in the Beatles’ path, but also in the world at large, simply couldn’t be released without an equally sensational cover to go with it. Peter Blake (b. 1932) was already a renowned British pop artist, and the task, along with a quick and loose sketch by Paul McCartney, fell into his hands through the agency of their mutual acquaintances. This version is the original collage to the TV-guide promoting the famous 1995 documentary about the band.”
