Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)
“Experience the story behind the artwork that defined a generation.”
In 1968, art students Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell made a trippy photo collage for their musician friends Syd, David and Roger. The resulting album and album cover, A Saucerful of Secrets, helped launch two careers: that of Pink Floyd, one of the 70s megabands, and of Hipgnosis, which, over the course of the next 25 years, designed a stream of iconic album covers.
Immerse yourself in a vibrant, retrospective journey through the golden age of album art. It's a visually rich, insightful exploration of eccentric genius and groundbreaking design, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of music and visual culture. Perfect for appreciating the intersection of art and sound.
