Peter Gabriel selected this dark and psychologically rendered drawing by Julian Grater as the cover of
Passion because he felt it resonated in a powerful way with the rich, cultural fusion of the music. The album was originally composed as the soundtrack for
The Last Temptation of Christ, directed by Martin Scorsese.
It won a Grammy in 1990 for Best New Age Album.

”I’ve always loved artwork and album art. I think it’s been a huge part of what people identify and feel about the music and the records” said Peter Gabriel “I used to love gatefold sleeves…when you would sit with a new record and open it up it was just a precious moment. Now we’ve gone into this digital world a lot of that has been lost. We’ve being looking at ways of getting quality prints of the artwork for a long time and I’m happy now it has happened.”
Collector's Notes:
Both sizes/editions have been hand-signed by both Peter Gabriel & Julian Grater.
