This unique anthology of artists record covers, from the 1950s to today includes more than 450 covers, tracing the interaction between music and the visual arts. Featured covers include Salvador Dals skewered butterfly for Jackie Gleason and Banksys stenciled graffiti for Blur.
Since the dawn of modernism, visual and music production have had a particularly intimate relationship. From Luigi Russolos 1913 Futurist manifesto LArte dei Rumori (The Art of Noise) to Marcel Duchamps 1925 double-sided discs Rotoreliefs, the 20th century saw ever more fertile exchange between sounds and shapes, marks and melodies, and different fields of composition and performance.
In Francesco Spampinatos unique anthology of artists record covers, we discover the rhythm of this particular cultural history. The book presents 450 covers and records by visual artists from the 1950s through to today, exploring how modernism, Pop Art, Conceptual Art, postmodernism, and various forms of contemporary art practice have all informed this collateral field of visual production and supported the mass distribution of music with defining imagery that swiftly and suggestively evokes an aural encounter.
Along the way, we find Jean-Michel Basquiats urban hieroglyphs for his own Tartown record label, Banksys stenciled graffiti for Blur, and a skewered Salvador Dal butterfly on Jackie Gleasons Lonesome Echo. There are insightful analyses and fact sheets alongside the covers listing the artist, performer, album name, label, year of release, and information on the original artwork. Interviews with Tauba Auerbach, Shepard Fairey, Kim Gordon, Christian Marclay, Albert Oehlen, and Raymond Pettibon add personal accounts on the collaborative relationship between artists and musicians.
