Design duo Storm Thorgerson Aubrey Powell better known by their collective name Hipgnosis are renowned in the music world for creating iconic cover art for rock and roll greats. From Pink Floyd to Paul McCartney, Hipgnosis have been behind some of the most well known and well loved album artworks, shaping the aesthetic of the music industry since the late 1960s. This new series of limited editions brings the images back to life as archival inkjet prints, each one in beautiful, never before seen, clarity. ‘Atom Heart Mother Pink Floyd’ features the original artwork from the 1970 Pink Floyd album of the same name. A wire cow stands in a classic English countryside setting, with blue sky and green fields rolling away as far as the eye can see. An exercise in the unexpected, the image is powerful in its esoteric simplicity, transcending its musical context as an artwork in its own right. A must have for the Floyd fan, the retro music collector, and anyone with a keen eye for the iconic.
