Coming towards the end of the year, on November 4th, 2021, is a new, 288 page hardback book that promises to be a superb collection of Gerald Scarfe’s iconic artwork for Pink Floyd. Details are brief at the moment, and the cover image hasn’t yet been made public, but here’s what the publishers have revealed: “The Art of Pink Floyd The Wall (https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1408714329/braindamage-21) is a sumptuously illustrated book, collecting Gerald Scarfe’s iconic work for Pink Floyd. First The Wall was an album, then it was a stage show, a film – now there will be the definitive book, which will be a work of art in its own right. “This large, landscape-format book, presented in a stunning slipcase designed by Scarfe, is packed with photos, drawings and designs which will incorporate the iconic imagery of The Wall alongside new and previously unseen material. “Forty years on, The Wall has lost none of its impact, and its themes are more relevant than ever. Presenting the phenomenal artwork as it has never been seen before, The Art of Pink Floyd The Wall is a must-have for any Pink Floyd fan.” We will hopefully have more information about this book soon. Gerald’s previous books have all been fascinating and very well produced, and we expect the same for this one.

This could result in Amazon matching or beating their price, as they tend to keep an eye on competitors.
