This major exhibition will explore the visual art of Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke and the iconic images of Radiohead.

More than 180 objects will be on display from the artists’ 30-year collaboration, including original paintings for album covers, digital compositions, etchings, unpublished drawings, and lyrics in their sketchbooks.

This Is What You Get will reveal how the artists experimented with early technology, and explore the evolution of the images for Radiohead’s legendary albums and Yorke’s later projects. To date the band, which was formed in Oxfordshire in the mid-1980s, has sold 30 million records worldwide.

Developed and curated with Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke, the show will offer a unique opportunity to look at the creative forces behind some of the most important and influential music of the past few decades.
