Primary Wave Music acquired Aubrey “Po” Powell‘s interests in the entire catalog of artwork owned by Hipgnosis, the British design studio Powell founded in 1967. The catalog includes artwork created for artists including Bad Company, Styx, Black Sabbath, Queen, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Yes, AC/DC and Genesis. It also includes related objects used to create those artworks, including the original biplanes used in the music video for Pink Floyd’s “Point Me to the Sky” and one of the original “The Object” sculptures used for the cover art of Led Zeppelin’s album Presence.
Under the deal, Primary Wave will collaborate with Powell to mount global exhibitions of the Hipgnosis catalog, including pieces that have never been seen by the public.
