Description
This image evokes the magical Summer of Love,1967. An anonymous topless girl held aloft on her boyfriend’s shoulders at a rock concert is lost in the freedom of the moment. Although only thirteen years old at the time the artist has strong memories of going to a friend’s house to listen to the newly released Beatles’s Sgnt. Pepper’s album from start to finish without talking and while poring over Peter Blake’s superlative artwork on the cover and enclosure. Twenty five years later Paul Yates would find himself collaborating with Blake on a number of projects to critical acclaim.
