Posted at 01/11/2011 by 1 Comment

According to George Condo, who designed the banned cover art for Kanye West’s last album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the rapper wanted a controversial cover.

In an interview Condo gave to the New Yorker he said that while working with Kanye to come up with a vision for the cover art that Kanye told him that he wanted “something that will be banned.” The artist said that after listening to the album he skillfully painted 8 or 9 different possibilities and Kanye settled on the controversial painting that ultimately graced the cover (and was banned.)
