Pink Floyd: Storm Thorgerson Signed 'The Dark Side of the Moon' Silkscreen (Ltd. Ed. #277/295) - 25.5″ x 33″ Limited edition color 25.5 x 33 silkscreen of the iconic front cover of Pink Floyd’s 1973 landmark album, The Dark Side of the Moon, numbered 277/295, signed in the lower border in pencil by Storm Thorgerson, who designed the cover with Hipgnosis. Rolled and in fine condition, with a few light bends. Storm Thorgerson (1944-2013) was the visual architect behind many of the most recognizable album covers in rock. His ties to Pink Floyd ran deep: he went to school in Cambridge alongside founders Syd Barrett and Roger Waters, was a teenage friend of David Gilmour, and later served as best man at Gilmour’s wedding. He co-founded the design group Hipgnosis with Aubrey Powell, and their album-cover work began with Pink Floyd’s A Saucerful of Secrets in 1968. Thorgerson went on to create much of the band’s album artwork through The Division Bell, most famously The Dark Side of the Moon, designed with Hipgnosis and often ranked among the greatest album covers of all time. His surreal, photography-driven approach typically placed objects out of their usual contexts amid vast empty spaces. His work with Hipgnosis also included covers for Led Zeppelin’s Presence and In Through the Out Door, as well as albums by Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Wings, and Black Sabbath, and in later years he designed for Muse and the Mars Volta.
