1991. 12 ½" x 12 ½". Signed and inscribed by Nirvana Art Director Robert Fisher in silver marker on the rear of the album. About fine, with corners very lightly nicked and a touch of creasing to right edge of rear of album. Overall, a very unique piece of Nirvana memorabilia. This copy of the "Nevermind" record album is inscribed by the band's art director, Robert Fisher, who oversaw the art and design for all of Nirvana's Geffen releases, including "Nevermind," "Incesticide," "In Utero," and "MTV Unplugged in New York." In his inscription, he tells the origin of the iconic "Nevermind" album cover in his own words - how Cobain wanted the cover to be a picture of a baby being born underwater, and, from that starting point, the band and Fisher collaboratively came up with the image of a baby underwater looking at a dollar bill on a hook. Fisher is careful in his inscription to note his own contributions to the…
