How Dare You Gatefold Signed Print by Aubrey Powell

How Dare You Gatefold Signed print by Aubrey Powell. The inner gatefold image from 10cc’s How Dare You album, released in 1976, feels almost prophetic today. It captures a buzzing party where every guest is deeply engaged—but not with each other. Instead, they’re all on the phone. It’s a satirical, visually sharp comment on disconnected communication, a theme that resonates even more in today’s screen-obsessed world.

This image also cleverly gets the band into the artwork without relying on standard posed band photography. Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis, who signed this limited edition giclée print, helped push the boundaries of album cover design with bold, unconventional ideas.

Produced with meticulous detail using giclée pigment inks on Woodstock Felt 310 gsm paper, this print stands as a lasting piece of rock history and pop art commentary.
