Footnotes
Provenance
Offered directly by the artist.
'BUT' was taken in 1982 on Grimsby fish docks and was one of the main images that led Geoff Power to working with Factory Records. Power states that when Factory Records Art Director Peter Saville first viewed the image in 1985, he 'loved it' and it was this piece that ignited their collaborations for producing artwork for the band New Order. The image was considered for the cover of New Order's third studio album 'Low-life', and was also proofed for the cover of the band's single 'The Perfect Kiss', but subsequently neither came to fruition.
