It’s the art lecture with a rock n’ roll heart! Learn how the greatest album covers of all time were created in this fast-paced visual program. We’ll explore the crossroads of music, art, and commerce as we discover the sometimes wild stories behind your favorite album art by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Taylor Swift, The Police, and others. See the sleeves that Andy Warhol, Banksy, Jeff Koons, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, and other top artists made, and learn who are among the most revered cover designers.
