Rude Britannia: British Comic Art - at Tate Britain 9 June - 5 Sept.
Here’s Gerald Scarfe talking about some of the pieces he’s curated in the British Comic Art Show, currently running at Tate Britain.
“Put together with some the country’s best-known cartoonists and comedy writers, this exhibition explores British comic art from the 1600s to the present day. Bringing together a wide array of paintings, sculptures, film and photography, as well as graphic art and comic books, the exhibition celebrates a rich history of cartooning and visual jokes.”
Harry Hill has also curated a brilliant room at the show, the Absurd room - which features diverse exhibits including sculpture by David Shrigley and illustrations from Alice in Wonderland.
Also look out for some rarely seen Vic Reeve’s cards which we’ve supplied to the shop for the show - which includes ‘M Winner work out dummy.’
