Pink Floyd, Animals Album Cover, 1977

This was the front cover of Animals, Pink Floyd's 1977 conceptual masterpiece. The album is loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm.

This is one of the most iconic images in rock and roll with one of the most often told anecdotes to go with it.

Some comments from Storm: “...the whole event had a ludicrous and Spinal Tap feeling to it, especially when faced with newspaper headlines blaring out that airline pilots were seeing flying pigs (had the world gone mad?), it was only by staging it for real that the essential dynamics of the building and the beauty of the dramatic sky were captured – a majestic background for a majestic pig. How splendid, how absurd, how Rock ’N’ Roll.” - Storm Thorgerson. 

Lambda Release Notes:
In 2008, Storm and SFAE celebrated Pink Floyd's 40th anniversary with an exhibition of signed photographs of images that he had created for the band over the years both as a founding member of the design collective Hipgnosis, and as an independent designer with StormStudios. These photographs were produced as signed, open editions and were only briefly available for sale as they were intended only for the anniversary celebration. Very few of any of these images were produced. 

Collector's Notes:
The serigraph edition is one of the most popular limited edition print from the Hipgnosis catalog, there are very very few available. Please contact us for details!
