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. ‘Tenology 10cc’ features the original artwork from the 2012 10cc retrospective collection of the same name. In surrealist style, a large bust sits beside a river bank. Its porcelain, white head has been divided up into sections, each one containing a different cultural reference, from Brecht to The Beatles, Bob Dylan to Ben Hur. Its esoteric charm transcends its musical context, for a visually compelling work of art. A must have for the 10cc fan, the retro music collector, and anyone with a keen eye for the iconic.
