This retrospective at the Ashmolean will be the first exhibition in a public gallery to bring together the visual work of Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.
More than 120 works will be on display, with many of the paintings, drawings and digital art specifically created for Yorke’s internationally acclaimed band Radiohead, formed in Oxford in 1985.

This Is What You Get will showcase Donwood and Yorke’s unique collaborations which explore the complex relationship between visual art and music.
The multi-media exhibition will feature artworks from the 1990s to the present day, including Radiohead album covers and promotional band images – as well as personal sketchbooks and notebooks never seen before in public.
