Blake at Mall

The next exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London is Sir Peter Blake at the Mall, which opens tomorrow to celebrate his 80th birthday and his six decades of pop-art printmaking (CLICK). There will be new works as well as a comprehensive selection of works spanning his career. The example shown is his silkscreen print on paper American Trilogy. Admission is free. So is entry to a second exhibition Hidden Places, Hidden Spaces by SCOPE, which opens on Tuesday and runs until 2 June. Two free exhibitions can't be bad when many galleries and museums in London are jacking up their prices to rip off tourists coming here for the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games.
