Run For Cover

Spruill Art Gallery, 2010

Album covers are a vital part of the visual landscape. In them one can observe and track not only musical trends, genres, styles and history, but design and artistic trends, technological advancements in the printing industry, the rise of photography and typography and changes in societal attitudes, behaviors and cultural norms. Run for Cover featured hundreds of new and vintage album covers and celebrated how they’ve served as repositories of emotion, history, and aesthetics throughout the ages.
