Peter King's untimely death at the age of twenty-nine has meant that he has been largely omitted from the history of 1950s British art. Now his work is being made available to a wider audience, through a digitising project carried out by the artist's son, Dr Mike King, at London Metropolitan University, and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
