GRAMMY^®s 50th Anniversary

The GRAMMY^®s has named Roy Feinson as the featured artist for their upcoming (Feb 2008) 50th anniversary show.

Commissioned to do artwork for their commemorative magazine cover, a poster and backdrops for the GRAMMY^® nominations, Roy decided to do something that had never been done before. (Read the press release)

Using actual photographs taken of GRAMMY^® winners over the years, he arranged them in a haphazard fashion -- at various orientations and sizes -- while still managing to create a main image.

"I wanted to evoke a musical jam session in which many musicians are playing their own styles while dovetailing with others around them."

The artwork was unveiled at a GRAMMY^® press conference by 27 time GRAMMY^® winner Quincy Jones and Joss Stone.  After the show, the artwork will be on display at the new GRAMMY^® museum in L.A..
