At the Velvet, Oude Binnenweg 121, one of the best record stores in Rotterdam, we will show a selection of tribute record sleeves made by numerous artists as homage to their favorite song or album. Later this year the prestigious book project ‘140 Hits in Art’ of Klaas Wijnberg will be published. As a prequel to this book of 140 artists who pictured their favored music piece we selected our darlings and will be displaying them at the Velvet.
As you might know the record sleeve is on its way back, who wants a cd sleeve if you can have the full size version? Artists like Zeptonn, Wouter Tulp, Hedof, Shamrock, Ottograph, Sauerkids and Johan Weggis have contributed to this coffee table book of 31×31 cm, the real size of the original record sleeve. So check out our website these coming months for the release date. But in the meantime go and see the window display at the Velvet music store.
