Synopsis

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. Photographer, filmmaker and designer Anton Corbijn fills his Hipgnosis history with case studies of album art from Pink Floyd’s 'Dark Side of the Moon', considered by many to be the greatest album art of all time, to Led Zeppelin’s mind-altering 'Houses of the Holy'. Fuelled by Powell's vivid storytelling, Corbijn captures the energy of a team making iconoclastic art amidst one of the most hedonistic eras in music history.
