Art & Vinyl: the rarest, purest and most ambitious specimens of their kind

You probably know that Andy Warhol designed the vinyl and cover art for "The Velvet Underground and Nico," that Robert Frank produced the art for the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street," or that Raymond Pettibon designed Black Flag's "Jealous Again." But did you know that Robert Rauschenberg created the packaging for the Talking Heads' "Speaking in Tongues," or that Lee Friedlander shot the cover of Miles Davis' "In a Silent Way?" Fraenkel Gallery's Art & Vinyl is both a revelation and a pleasure. Yves Klein, Josef Albers, Richard Avedon, Lawrence Weiner, Marlene Dumas, Kiki Smith, Christopher Wool and Tauba Auerback are just a few of the artists featured in this 470-page compendium of "the rarest, purest, and most ambitious specimens of their kind." Featured here is Barbara Kruger's cover for Consolidated's "Business of Punishment" (1994).
