One for the Album
Four men crossing a pedestrian, a Buddhist monk in flames, a baby swimming underwater after a dollar bill, a pair of skinny zippered jeans, a yellow banana serigraphy, a burning man shaking hands with another – all these images have left a deep impression on entire generations of music fans. What would an album be without its cover?
A while ago, the exhibition ‘Total Records: Vinyls and Photography’ at Foto Colectania Foundation in Barcelona pondered over the same question and presented a unique collection that celebrated the key element in the iconography of music albums – the times when the names of renowned artists and photographers went down in the musical history books.
