Eduardo Paolozzi: Red Rose Speedway


Eduardo Paolozzi's artwork was featured in the 1972 album release of Red Rose Speedway by Paul McCartney. The album released a gold fold sleeve with a 12-page booklet inside. Working alongside other artists such as Alan Jones, Paolozzi's art captured the feel of McCartney's songs. McCartney has always collected modern art and is considered to have the largest private collection of Paolozzi's work. Paolozzi often drew inspiration from the relationship between humans and machinery taking the influences of progression in technology and mixing it with the "happier" lifestyles displayed in American magazines and media.
