réf. NIRV0101991. 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 of album. Overall a very unique 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 - how Cobain wanted the cover to be a picture of a baby being born underwater and from that starting point the band and Fisher collaboratively came up with the image of a baby underwater looking at a dollar bill on a hook. Fisher is careful in his inscription to note his own contributions to the final image - for example mentioning that it was he who found a photo of a baby in a pool that the band loved and based the final image on - which is particularly interesting given the recent legal battles that have come about involving Fisher and his role both in the creation of the cover of the "Nevermind" album and the iconic Nirvana smiley face logo. 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!" . Broadside.
