As BBC reports, artwork created for rock bank Radiohead is set to go on display at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England.
The multi-media exhibition will include album covers and other work by artist Stanley Donwood and the band’s singer Thom Yorke.
Also on display from August 2025 to January 2026 will be personal sketchbooks and notebooks never seen before in public, the museum said. Actually, Radiohead were formed at Abingdon School in Oxfordshire in 1985.
The exhibition, featuring more than 120 works, is called This Is What You Get after a lyric from the band’s song “Karma Police.”
The Ashmolean, the University of Oxford’s Museum of Art and Archaeology, said it would “explore the complex relationship between visual art and music”.
Donwood, whose real name is Dan Rickwood, has worked on most of Radiohead’s cover art as well as Yorke’s other music projects.
Speaking of his own artwork, Yorke previously told the BBC: “Dan is basically deft at pulling stuff out of my head in a way that just blows my mind in all different directions.”
In 2001, Donwood’s limited edition CD case for the Radiohead album Amnesiac – which transformed it into a lost library book – won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.
