Vinyl, album, cover, art : the complete Hipgnosis catalogue
Powell, Aubrey2017
Books
Founded in 1967 by Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey 'Po' Powell and Peter Christopherson, Hipgnosis gained legendary status in graphic design, transforming the look of album art forever and winning five Grammy nominations for package design. Their revolutionary cover art moved away from the conventional group shots favoured by record companies of the day, resulting in the ground-breaking, often surreal designs which define the albums of many of the biggest names in the history of popular music: 10cc, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Wings, Yes and XTC, to name but a few. Arranged chronologically, this book features reproductions of every single Hipgnosis cover, coupled with detailed information by Po and Storm Thorgerson on the artworks and the stories behind their creation.
