Office interior with mounted metal print of "Lou Reed."
The Velvet Underground was formed in New York City in 1964 and ended its run in 1973. During its existence, the group achieved little commercial success, but has since been recognized as among the most influential acts of the rock era for its integration of rock music with the avant-garde.

The principal songwriter, guitarist and vocalist for the group was Lou Reed, who launched his solo career in 1972 and had a hit the following year with Walk on the Wild Side. But is was not until 1989 that Reed achieved another major success with his album New York, which was voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as the 19th best of the 1980s. In 2008, he made the list of Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest of Albums of All time with two albums, Transformer and Berlin.

He continued to write and perform until his death
in 2013 of liver disease. In his last interview he spoke of his time with the Velvet Underground, and said,

“Every single one of us there was coming from a university and wanting to do something magnificent. We weren’t there to make money or be pretty or get laid. We were trying to create a diamond. We wanted to make heaven on Earth. We wanted to explode the whole thing, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable.

Metal prints are uniquely durable with vibrant colors, brilliant luminescent images, and exceptional detail.

They represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence.
The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/
weatherproof and can be cleaned easily – just avoid direct sunlight.

Float Mount Hangers are attached to the back of the print, and float the print 1/2-inch off the wall when hung. Styles and selection vary based on the size of the print ordered.


Acrylic Prints are beautiful photo prints face-mounted to plexiglass with polished edges. Rock Legend Classics come standard with a pair of mounting cleats, one affixed at the manufacturer, and the other to be installed on the wall for secure, straight hanging. Prints are provided with a mounting cleat with one section that mounts to the wall, and the other installed on the print by the manufacturer. Metal prints come standard with Float Mount Hangers installed for easy hanging with nail or hanger.
