Sir Peter Blake & Brian Wilson, "That Lucky Old Sun"
6th November - 15th November 2009
Genesis Publications, the world’s leading publisher of signed and numbered limited edition books and fine art prints in association with the Leinster Gallery, will launch "That Lucky Old Sun" - an extraordinary collaboration between one of popular music’s most revered figures, Brian Wilson, and one of today’s greatest British artists, Sir Peter Blake.
Sir Peter Blake is a headline speaker at OFFSET 2009 and will be in attendance at the private view and launch of this fine art boxed book and print set with just 1,000 copies available worldwide. Described by Brian as “a spiritual record”, it includes 12 exclusive new prints created by Peter, presented as numbered, fine art serigraphs.
The series of original collages draw their inspiration from the music of Brian Wilson’s new masterpiece That Lucky Old Sun, offering a moving tribute to Southern California and a celebration of Brian’s life and career. Sir Peter Blake comments, “It is extremely satisfying to bring the California that Brian sees to the page. That Lucky Old Sun is a ‘collage of sound’ which I’m very happy to make visual.”
The cloth bound, hand numbered book is signed by both Brian and Peter. It includes an historical essay and brand new extensive interview with Brian by noted music journalist and author Harvey Kubernik, in which Brian speaks about the music and inspirations for the album That Lucky Old Sun. Also featured in the portfolio, enclosed within a cloth-bound box handcrafted in Italy, are Brian’s hand-written sheet music and lyrics to the new track ‘Midnight’s Another Day’ reproduced in facsimile, an original laminate VIP pass from the live performance of That Lucky Old Sun and a CD pressing of the album.
