If you’re looking for something fun to see in Birmingham this weekend, why not swing past Snow Hill Square outside Snow Hill Station, where a free exhibition of Peter Phillips’s work has been put on to pay homage to the late artist?
The free public exhibition is called ‘Pop Goes Brum!’
The outdoor exhibition opened on Tuesday (June 9) and is available to see until Tuesday, June 30.
Proud Brummie Peter Phillips was prolific in the 20th century. He was born in Bournville in 1939, became a student of Moseley School of Art and also studied at the Birmingham School of Art. He died in June last year.
The exhibition pays homage to the artist’s works, and his enduring contribution to the Pop Art movement.
The exhibition was funded by Birmingham's Colmore BID, and made in partnership with the Birmingham School of Art. The exhibition was curated by art historian and author Ruth Millington. The exhibition was launched with the support of the artist’s family.
