With only a few unavoidable exceptions (when the artist is no longer alive) the prints sold by Hypergallery have been conceived, created, approved and signed by the artist themselves. Similarly, the term serigraph has been used to describe artistic use of the silkscreen process. It denotes the high-quality ink-jet printing process which uses fade resistant, archival inks and archival substrates on large format printers to produce fine art prints. Many album covers designs are attributed to artists who haven’t been directly involved in creating and signing the prints and we aim to make this as transparent and clear as possible in the product details.Īrchival inkjet printing is also commonly referred to as Giclée. In many cases the creation of an album cover is a collaborative affair. Hypergallery doesn’t own the copyright to any of our prints, but in all cases we ensure that we have the permission of the copyright holder to produce the prints. Design work is a little more complicated and depends entirely on the contract drawn up at the time of the creation of the art. In most cases, if an album cover is a photograph then the photographer will own the copyright. By convention, the artist is not supposed to sell these at once. There can also be printer's proofs which are taken for the printer to see how the image is printing, or are final impressions the printer is allowed to keep but normally the term "artist's proof" would cover both cases.Īrtist's proofs are not included in the count of a limited edition, and they belong to the artist. This is OK, as long as the sizes are distinctly different and they should be published at the same time.Īn artist's proof in modern practice is usually used to describe an impression of the finished work that is identical to the numbered copies. Sometimes limited editions are published at different sizes. There will also be Artists Proofs (APs) numbering up to a maximum of 10% of the edition, and sometimes Printer’s Proofs (PPs) which are usually kept by the printer, or Hors Commerce prints (HCs) which are used by the publisher for promotional purposes. If your print is number 70 of 295 then it really is just that: the 70th numbered print in a total edition of 295. The very nature of a limited edition print is that it is limited, forever, to the total number detailed in the original edition. If you require a precise measurement please get in touch.

The cow was your regular cow, your standard cow, what every cow should look like. The cow was, in fact, more eye-catching than I had ever dared imagine it was so different because it was so normal, so ordinary it stood out a mile. Not shocking, not mind altering, just unexpected. "I wanted to design a non-cover, something that was not like other covers, particularly not like other rock or psychedelic covers something that one would simply not expect. Storm Thorgerson took the picture using only two rolls of 120 film in the first field he came to driving north out of London. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond. It was the first Pink Floyd cover not to feature the band's name on the cover, nor to contain any photographs of the band anywhere. This striking print celebrates Atom Heart Mother, a big breakthrough for Pink Floyd who, in 1970 managed to get to No.1 with one of the world's most progressive psychedelic albums featuring neither title nor band photo on the front just a cow. The Atom Heart Mother limited edition print was one of the very first selection of Pink Floyd album cover designs to be revisited and re-envisaged as an art print by Storm Thorgerson at the very beginning of this century.
