Limited edition fine art print - Pink Floyd A Momentary Lapse of Reason by Storm Thorgerson

Storm Thorgerson’s image for Pink Floyd is one of a series of twenty prints, each in an edition of twenty known as the 2020 Series. Storm describes for us how this image came about . . .

"The idea of beds for the Momentary Lapse cover came from a line of lyric - ‘Visions of an empty bed’ (Yet Another Movie) it was more than a momentary lapse, I can tell you, more like a day of complete lunacy. Or two days, as we had to shoot it twice. because of rain. But this is not the album cover; this is in fact an offshoot, a European tour poster, and I cunningly decided to put some beds ‘on the road’, tee hee, and place them in a long line down the centre stretching into the distance (it was a long tour).

"This picture is actually quite a rarity, being in normal colour whereas the published piece was a black and white version which was then hand coloured."
