Price: $3,500.00
Broadside. Near Fine.
[1991.] 12 ½" x 12 ½". Signed and inscribed by Nirvana Art Director Robert Fisher in silver marker on the rear of the album. About fine, with corners very lightly nicked and a touch of creasing to right edge of rear cover. Overall, a very unique and striking piece of Nirvana memorabilia. This copy of the Nevermind record album is inscribed by the band's art director, Robert Fisher, who oversaw the art and design for all of Nirvana's Geffen releases, including Nevermind, Incesticide, In Utero, and MTV Unplugged in New York. In his inscription, he tells the origin of the iconic Nevermind album cover in his own words: that Cobain wanted the cover to be a picture of a baby being born underwater, and, from that starting point, how the band and Fisher collaboratively came up with the image of a baby underwater swimming after a dollar bill on a fish hook. Inscription: "I was working at Geffen and heard / they were to sign Nirvana. Being / a fan I asked to work on it. No / one had any idea how big they would / become. Kurt and Dave wanted a photo / of a baby being born in water. I / found a phot [sic] of a baby in a pool / that they loved. We then hired Kirk Weddle to / shoot a similar photo. I said it needed more and / Kurt jokingly said lets [sic] add a fish hook. We spent / hours thinking of things we could put on the hook / until someone said a dollar bill. It was perfect!"
