Interscope is stocking the museum gift shop of its upcoming art exhibit, “Artists Inspired by Music: Interscope Reimagined," the label's 30th anniversary celebration at
LACMA,
with limited-edition vinyl copies of the albums featured.
An exclusive series of 100 of each album with reimagined artwork will be released, with a numbered archival-quality
giclée-printed cover and delivery in a custom
Gucci box, for $2,500 each.
Available for purchase on the
NTWRK app, the series will drop in groups beginning Thursday and running through 1/31. Interscope and NTWRK will donate 100% of net profits to the
Iovine and Young Foundation, which is building a school in South Los Angeles.
“While this groundbreaking art exhibit will be on view at LACMA only for a limited time, we thought launching a series of limited-edition vinyl to honor both our recording artists and the extraordinary visual artists who contributed pieces to this effort would be a great way for this celebration to live on for years and at the same time was a cool way to invite music fans into Interscope’s 30th anniversary celebration,” said
Steve Berman, Vice Chairman of
Interscope Geffen A&M. “NTWRK, which specializes in highly curated cultural artifacts from art and music, is a perfect retail partner as we celebrate the legacy of all of the artists who have made Interscope Records a success for the past 30 years. The fact that sales of these albums will help fund Jimmy and Dre’s high school makes it an even more special endeavor.”
Among the artists creating new LP covers are
Cecily Brown,
Shepard Fairey,
Ed Ruscha,
Kehinde Wiley and
Damien Hirst, who created the
Eminem piece pictured. Albums by the likes of
Billie Eilish,
Dr. Dre,
Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga and
U2 are included.
“Artists Inspired by Music: Interscope Reimagined” will open at LACMA’s Resnick Pavilion on 1/30.
