Dear Shaded Viewers,
From Cindy Sherman for Babes in Toyland to Ernie Barnes for Marvin Gaye I Want You album covers serve as artworks and thus there is a long history of fine artists collaborating with musicians to create eye-catching images to accompany their tunes. Francesco Spampinato published a new book Art Record Covers from which Artsy’s Grant Tillery published his article which I’m directing you to here. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-keith-haring-kara-walker-10-artists-designed-album-covers.
Later,
Diane
