About this work

Martyn Goddard's cover image for Three Imaginary Boys, The Cure's 1979 debut album, a standard lamp, a refrigerator and a Hoover vacuum lined up against hot pink, the three household appliances standing in for the three band members who refused a conventional group shot.

It became one of the most distinctive record sleeves of the post-punk era, a deadpan, pop-art joke that told you exactly what kind of band The Cure intended to be.

Produced as museum-quality archival pigment prints from the original transparency, each print is individually signed by Martyn Goddard and released in strictly limited editions.
