On April 15 at the Spazio Musa in Turin , an original exhibition dedicated to auteur vinyl opens which, ranging from Matisse to Basquiat from Dubuffet to Beuys, crosses the entire history of music and modern and contemporary art, with the presence of some of its greatest protagonists.

From Picasso to Miró, up to Warhol, Koons, Hirst, Barcelò, Tapies, Haring, to the Italians Clemente, Paladino, Lodola, Pistoletto, Nereo Rotelli, D'Angelo, Zorio, as well as great photographers such as Araki, Mapplethorpe, Ghirri and important illustrators such as Crepax, Manara and many others, the exhibition will offer new perspectives on a world still largely unknown to the general public.

The history of music, in the last century, has found in vinyl one of the most effective vehicles of popular diffusion, forcefully entering homes and becoming an instrument of multiplication of expressions, not only musical, but also of aesthetic and communicative taste.

The rigid, anonymous, and serious containers of the first records initially at 78 rpm and later at 33 and 45 rpm, have seen, over the years, the burst of colorful and sometimes unsettling covers from a graphic point of view. to Andy Warhol who, with an iconic cover created for the Velvet Underground in 1967, broke into the world of discography radically changing the concept of the container and creating, probably unconsciously, the Art Cover trend. Before him, and well before the famous rock covers, the world of Jazz in particular and in part of classical music had turned to artists to stimulate them to design masterful covers.
