Back in October 2004 we reported that Storm Thorgerson's fascinating exhibition of Pink Floyd (and other artists) images and cover artwork, "Taken By Storm" that was held in London, was to tour the world.

The exhibition, held at the John Martin Gallery in Chelsea, featured a wealth of absorbing images, and was a great look through Storm's career to date. It was great news that the show was to travel, and now we can bring you details of the first of these to be confirmed.

The US tour of "Taken by Storm: Art of Storm Thorgerson" will open on May 6th at Inspire Fine Art in Chicago at 435 East Illinois Street at the River East Art Center. The exhibition will continue until June 4th 2005.

The exhibition will remain on tour in the US during 2005 before continuing to Asia and Europe in 2006. Limited edition signed and numbered fine art prints, original sculpture and one-of-a-kind artwork will be available at participating galleries, on the gallery websites and at www.takenbystorm.us, where you will find up-to-date information on the tour.

At the London show, we enjoyed a long and fascinating chat with Storm. Highlights of our conversation and pictures of the exhibition can be seen in the interview section of this site.

Our thanks to Robin at Media Contemporary Arts for keeping us posted with this eagerly anticipated tour. We'll have more news about the tour as it moves around the country, and indeed, the world!
