No prize but eternal glory to anyone who can identify the record that this is the back cover of.
Would really like to know who made this image or is it a sculpture I'm not sure - and how it got made

it is busy-busy and has that hypergloss, but somehow because it's done with analogue means, it's better. whereas the FSOL graphics just make me reach for the sick bucket
DeleteSimon - I was unaware of Mary Bauermeister but her works seems very very cool. Thank you for introducing it to me!
ReplyDeleteI was unware of her as well. Apparently she is credited on the inner sleeve of the album but when I was inspecting it (in Cal Arts record library) I couldn't find any credit.
ReplyDeleteThis is another of her record covers for Karlheinz - https://www.discogs.com/release/296375-Karlheinz-Stockhausen-Momente-1965-Version
ReplyDeleteAh, the first Stockhausen album I got, at the tender age of 16.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed credited in the lower left corner of the gatefold:
Rückseite: Silent Waves (Mary Bauermeister)
It seems to be something like a diorama, a box with a drawing in the back with lenses/glass spheres/some pencils in front.
A different Matthew M also saying thanks for this - I'd never seen that or heard of Bauermeister but I've gone and bought a book about her now.
