23.6. - 18.8. 2002 The Warhol Museum Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

The LP Show features more than 2,000 LP covers culled from over 50 collections. The exhibition will trace the history of graphic design for album covers from its beginnings in the 1940's to contemporary graphics that endure the rise of the compact disc. During the last half of the 20th century, the album cover was one of the most distributed popular art mediums.

The LP Show will examine the tremendous impact commercial artists, and their illustrated album covers had on post-war popular culture. Covers are divided by theme and musical category, with clusters devoted to everything from clowns, couples and astronauts to circles, spirals and monochromes. Contributors include John Zorn, Jim Thirlwell, Thurston Moore and Christian Marclay among others. [/] warhol.org
