10cc How Dare You Gatefold Signed Print by Storm & Aubrey

10cc How Dare You Gatefold Signed Print by Storm & Aubrey. The How Dare You inner gatefold artwork remains one of Hipgnosis’s most subtly satirical pieces. Created by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell, the image depicts a lively party scene—yet everyone is talking on the phone instead of to one another. It’s a wry, pre-digital-age prediction of how disconnected modern communication could become.

Storm and Aubrey’s concept was also a brilliant workaround to avoid the cliché of posed band shots. 10cc are present in the image, but not in a conventional way—fitting for a band known for sharp wit and musical sophistication. As always, Storm Thorgerson brought surreal storytelling to his visuals, while Aubrey Powell delivered the cinematic flair. You can view more of Aubrey Powell’s work at St Pauls Gallery and explore the Hipgnosis archive to see the legacy of this groundbreaking studio.

Produced using museum-grade giclée pigment inks on textured Woodstock Felt 310gsm paper, this print is not only a conversation piece—it’s a collector’s item that bridges music, art, and cultural commentary.
