This Is What You Get revealed how the artists experimented with early technology, and explores the evolution of the images for Radiohead’s legendary albums and Yorke’s later projects. To date the band, which was formed in Oxfordshire in the mid-1980s, has sold 30 million records worldwide.
Developed and curated with Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke, the show offered a unique opportunity to look at the creative forces behind some of the most important and influential music of the past few decades.
Some artworks and labels in the exhibition included strong language.
