at Fullerton Museum Center
August 26-October 18, 2009
Remember how cool album covers used to be? They were the visual art of the analog age, and putting a new record on the platter always included the ritual of reading and enjoying the record's cover. Albums sometimes represented the best designs and photos of the era. On the other hand, some of the art was in fact pretty bad. For this show, FMC has collected a gallery of album art gone awry-100 covers they deem the worst in the world. Curated by Jim Washburn.
