Performance art

Blow Up Press is a new (or relaunched?) venture from the folks behind Bluecoat Press, offering prints of iconic images of iconic musicians (I deploy that frequently misused word twice advisedly), each one limited to a run of 250 and hand signed by the photographer who took it. The Beatles, The Smiths, The Rolling Stones and Ian Curtis are among the artists featured in the initial prints available on their site.

Needless to say, as a fan of both music and photography, Blow Up captured my interest immediately, and what looks to be the standard price (£40) seems very reasonable. I've got my eye on Philippe Carly's portrait of Iggy Pop - I've just got to persuade my partner it would deserve a place on our walls...
