Created by: Josiah Wedgwood The National Art Collections Fund initiated a series of Art Plates as part of a series of commissions of contemporary art in aid of its Modern Art Fund. In 1989 and again in 1990, the Fund commissioned two collections of contemporary prints by distinguished artists. The artists commissioned for this new commission included Peter Blake, Patrick Caulfield, Bruce McLean, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi and John Piper. The project was sponsored by Glaxo. Caulfield's counterpointed waves, their curves playing musically with the circular form of the plate, recall a Rio beach and 'The Girl from Ipanema'. Fuller details about the piece, including an illustration of this and the other commissioned pieces, are included in the booklet sold with the plate.
