For a while now, Storm Thorgerson and his team have been making fine art prints, as Storm says "nice and big, individually printed (so unlike album covers), on long lasting paper with long lasting inks, derived from original art, devoid of logos and text, presented in glorious colour and look fab, even if I do say so myself".
They like to show them off in exhibitions (and we certainly love seeing them in all their glory!), and the next one opens this week, on May 6th and runs for 8 weeks in Los Angeles at high-end clothing store John Varvatos on Melrose (8800 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood). Storm says that "Mr Varvatos is a big rock'n'roll fan and likes to indulge his other passion in his shops, where we will be premiering the biggest fine art prints - they're massive - that we have ever attempted in his even more massive front windows, along with approx 35 more normal sized prints around the interior".
Click the thumbnail to see the 12 large prints they've decided upon, but to see the others they've selected, you'll have to head over to Hollywood. They're hoping to repeat this idea in the UK at some point and we'll let you know as and when this happens.
