| Rare Music Posters' Exhibition in London  "Explosion", named after Martin Sharp's vintage 1967 Jimi Hendrix poster, will be launched as a major retrospective of rare rock music posters from May 12 to June 8th at The Movie Poster Gallery, 12 Colville Place, London, W1. Advertising campaigns behind record releases and the promotion of bands is one of popular music's most creative offshoots. Over the years a wealth of compelling graphic design talent has shaped the public image of singers, bands and record companies.The anarchic work of Jamie Reid for the Sex Pistols, the industrial-classical pastiches of Peter Saville for Factory Records and the imagined worlds of Roger Dean for Yes created a total visual language and stylistic expression for their bands in an involvement that often went much deeper than mere packaging. Morrissey's visionary concepts for the Smiths record releases will be displayed in their original music poster formats. Also on exhibit and for sale will be original music posters from Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Joy Division, New Order, The Clash, The Beatles, The Fall and Elvis Costello. Many of the posters are ultra rare and have never been exhibited together in one exhibition before. New collectors of original music posters will find starting prices affordable. For music enthusiasts everywhere,Explosionis not an exhibition to be missed. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
