This Polaroid artwork by Storm Thorgerson was completed in preparation for the third eponymous Peter Gabriel album, commonly referred to as Melt. Storm and Peter began experimenting with hundreds of Polaroids, having fun squashing and squeezing and smearing the developing images, a technique later known as Krimsography. These are many of the results Storm compiled by hand.

”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 & Storm Thorgerson.
