Currently researching the components of Pauline Boty’s 1960/61 collage “Untitled (Buffalo)”, which features the cigarette packet shown here.

Should anyone be able to shed any light on the brand or manufacturer (City Cigarettes, England) would be most grateful.

British artist Pauline Boty, often dismissed as an 'It' girl of 1960s London, was at the forefront of British Pop Art.

Tragically, Boty died at age 28 of terminal cancer, just five months after giving birth to her daughter. Her source image for “The Only Blonde in the World” was a photograph of Marilyn Monroe – that most classic Pop Art icon – that was a press image for the 1959 film “Some Like It Hot”. Boty has framed the sliver containing Monroe’s glamorous image between abstract planes so that we feel like we are catching a fleeting glimpse of the movie star. Boty’s quick brushstrokes and silvery color palette for Monroe’s dress make the star appear full of life; in reality, this painting was completed about one year after Monroe’s death. Boty used found images from movies and magazines, pop music, and contemporary consumer items such as automobiles in her compositions; she worked in both oil paints and in collage (and, early on, in stained glass design). Her art is fun, full of joy and exudes a free-spirited feminism that reflects the happenings surrounding her in the early 1960s in Britain.
December's theme: Pop Art
PAULINE BOTY (1938 -1966), “The Only Blonde in the World”, 1963. Tate Museum, London UK.
Boty was Britain’s first female Pop Artist and her work exudes a more feminist outlook than her contemporaries.

Really enjoyed Autumn by Ali Smith. It’s a quick, easy read but is clever and funny. Bonus points for featuring Pauline Boty who deserves to be better known.

Watching this rather good documentary about #PaulineBoty. Sixties #popart isn't really for me, but I've always thought of Boty as the cleverest, most original of artists.
Such a loss for British art.

Artist Pauline Boty.
On International Women's Day, I'd like to celebrate the brilliant artist Pauline Boty, a pop art genius who I discovered a few years ago. She sadly died very young in 1966. An excellent new documentary on BBC iPlayer tells her story...

If you enjoyed the excellent new documentary on #bbc4 about #paulineboty that was released this week by @mvinny70 then i highly recommend the book “Pauline Boty: British Pop Art’s Sole Sister by Marc Kristal” to learn more about the criminally overlooked 60’s artist.
