Claude Vanheye’s Exhibits His Favorite Record Covers at the Haarlem Vinyl Festival

The renowned Dutch photographer Claude Vanheye will celebrate his 60th anniversary in 2024-2025 with a series of different exhibitions. His first exhibition in this anniversary series ‘Every Picture Tells MY Story’ will take place during the second edition of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival from September 27 to 29 in Haarlem (Netherlands).

Vanheye will exhibit his favorite record covers, for which, in addition to photography, he often also took care of the design. It is a modest choice from the many hundreds of LP, single and CD covers that he has designed since the 1960s.

In addition to his record covers, a few photos from his international Rock Icons Collection are also exhibited in the equally iconic PHIL in Haarlem. Vanheye will also give his exclusive lecture ‘Every Picture Tells MY Story’ there on Saturday September 28, with the best stories about his work and talk about his photo shoots and relationships with iconic rock stars such as Mick Jagger, David Bowie, John Lennon, Frank Zappa, Chaka Khan, Kate Bush and Michael Jackson. 

The invitation from the Haarlem Vinyl Festival to have Vanheye exhibit his record covers is not surprising: after all, he is the one who has photographed and designed the most covers for vinyl records in the Netherlands.
