Andy Warhol - The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. 

It’s difficult to imagine the world without the cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico, especially  for a record collector. The cover was designed by pop artist Andy Warhol. The first pressing, with peelable banana peel, is the holy grail among record collectors. Warhol's banana – sexually provocative and at the same time rotten, judging by the brown spots – perfectly sums up the decadent beauty of this album. 

 In the beginning, hardly anyone bought the album, but, as keyboardist and producer Brian Eno once remarked, those who did, immediately formed their own band. Bands like Talking Heads and Joy Division owe a lot to the raw minimalism of The Velvet Underground.

The images are printed on archival museum-quality 260gsm Lustre paper which is a middle ground between Matte & Gloss so the print colours are vibrant but with less glare.

The paper is perfect for fine art, designed to last for years without losing its original beauty.
