 Pete McKee, Beach Cricket.
One of Sheffield's best loved artists Pete McKee is calling on the public to help him locate 25 of his past original artworks. The works are set to star in new exhibition which will make its debut at Weston Park Museum later this year.
Opening in November, The Boy with a Leg Named Brian will take visitors on an autobiographical journey through Pete’s childhood in 1970’s Sheffield.
You can view all the works Pete is looking for at Sheffield Museums. Pete is only looking for original artworks, not prints, and only the works listed – please don’t get in touch regarding any paintings not included in the list.
The originals are easily identifiable – they will be painted on board and will either be unframed or framed in a wooden frame.
If you own one of the listed originals, please get in touch with Pete’s team, who would love to talk to you about borrowing it for the upcoming exhibition. You can contact them at chris@petemckee.com
