Synopsis
Since the dawn of modernism, visual and music production have had a particularly intimate relationship. From Luigi Russolo’s 1913 Futurist manifesto L’Arte dei Rumori (The Art of Noise) to Marcel Duchamp’s 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 Spampinato’s 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 Basquiat’s urban hieroglyphs for his own Tartown record label, Banksy’s stenciled graffiti for Blur, and a skewered Salvador Dalí butterfly on Jackie Gleason’s 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.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Ob Salvador Dalí wohl gerne romantische Tanzmusik und Mood Music gehört hat, heute zumeist geringschätzig 'Easy Listening' genannt Man kann nur mutmaßen, zumindest fabrizierte er einen echten Dalí als Plattencover für den US-amerikanischen Entertainer und Orchesterchef Jackie Gleason, auf dessen Plattenhüllen ansonsten schmachtende Frauen oder auch nur deren Beine, Liebespärchen und Cocktailgläser dominierten. Gleasons Lonesome Echo erschien 1955 und ist damit ein frühes Beispiel für die Kollaboration zwischen bildender Kunst und Tonkunst. Die Geschichte der Popmusik ist immer auch die Geschichte ihrer ästhetischen Inszenierung, und die bildende Kunst hatte stets einen großen Anteil daran. Francesco Spampinatos beispiellose Sammlung zeigt über 450 Album- und Plattencover, die zwischen den 1950er-Jahren und heute von Künstlern gestaltet wurden, darunter Jean-Michel Basquiats städtische Hieroglyphen für sein eigenes Label Tartown, Banksys schablonierte Graffiti für Blur und Damien Hirsts Schädel mit Zifferblattaugen für The Hours. Die Cover werden von aufschlussreichen Analysen und allen sachdienlichen Informationen zu Coverkünstler und Interpret begleitet, während Interviews mit Tauba Auerbach, Shepard Fairey, Kim Gordon, Christian Marclay, Albert Oehlen und Raymond Pettibon persönliche Anekdoten und Einsichten zur Liaison zwischen bildenden und musizierenden Künstlern beisteuern.; Mehrsprachige Ausgabe.
