Dr. Bernard Vere lectures in 20th century art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, and he is here to dive into the stories behind how some of the world’s most famous album covers came to be.

Which of these album covers was your favorite? Can you name any other album covers created by visual artists?
I liked Goude's cover for 'Island Life' best. It's striking yet relatively simple, bold while not brash.
It might not qualify as a work by a visual artist in the usual sense, but the cover for Nico's 1970 album 'Desertshore' showcases scenes from the film 'La Cicatrice intérieure', which was directed by Philippe Garrel and starred Nico.

It's seems strange that people would get upset about flies being killed in an art exhibit. Yet people buy cans of fly spray for households.

Pink Floyd?
Yes, Storm Thorgerson is the graphic artist behind many of Pink Floyd's most recognizable album covers. He also created album and other art for notable groups like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Cranberries, and Phish.
