The exhibition also retraces the band’s relationship with English art design collective Hipgnosis, who designed covers for AC/DC, Paul McCartney and Genesis. The South Kensington exhibition is curated by Victoria Broakes, who also curated David Bowie Is back in 2013. Two hundred and fifty million record sales since their debut, it comes as no surprise that the first three days of the exhibition have been sold out, proving Pink Floyd’s era in music as irreplaceable. Guitars, costumes and handwritten lyrics have been borrowed from the personal archives of Roger Waters, Nick Mason and David Gilmour. A kaleidoscopic cover of colour and print, far from what the band would be associated with after Barrett’s exit. Barrett was featured with the rest of the band on their first album cover, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, photographed by Vic Singh. Syd Barrett, the face of Pink Floyd from 1965 to 1968, was the founding member of the British rock band.
