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 know 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. ‘Lovedrive Scorpions’ is a reprint of the 1979 Scorpions album of the same name. The controversial, sex saturated cover was banned shortly after its release in the US, but the image is lasting beyond its historical context. Strange and surreal, ‘Lovedrive Scorpions’ is a must have for the Scorpions fan, the retro music collector, and anyone with a keen eye for the iconic.
