Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group said, "I'm so proud that Interscope's culture of boundless creativity provides its artists with the widest palette possible with which to express themselves.
Sir Lucian Grainge's enduring support of Interscope's unique voice and vision over the years has helped make it possible for Interscope to foster an ambitious artistic endeavor of this magnitude." Having these artworks debut at LACMA, one of the world's most prestigious museums, is hugely gratifying for all of us who have been connected with Interscope over these past three decades. The fact that so many of the world's most acclaimed fine artists came together so eagerly to contribute to this project, and the fact that our own recording artists were as equally enthusiastic, is a deeply meaningful tribute to Interscope and one that we are immensely grateful for. As Jimmy, Berm, Josh Abraham and I reached out to the visual artist community, we realized that having them create a lasting visual legacy that honors our artists' music would be a hugely powerful tribute. In conversation with one of our label partners Justin Lubliner, he sparked this idea. John Janick, Chairman, Interscope Geffen A&M commented: "From its earliest days, Interscope's roster has included one-of-a-kind artists who clearly moved culture, and that's something that we work to honor every single day in our current work at the label.

"For the 30th, we wanted to continue that vision by assembling the most admired visual artists and empower them with that same creative license to honor the musical artists we have worked with over three decades." "Interscope's original mission was to find the most profound artists, empower their creativity and watch what happens," said Iovine. The scope and size of the selection of music recognizes the profound impact that Interscope artists have had on global culture in the past three decades. The team also worked with LACMA Associate Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, Staci Steinberger, to collectively organize the exhibition. The ambitious project was organized by Interscope Records Co-founder Jimmy Iovine, current Chairman, John Janick, music executive Josh Abraham, along with Interscope Vice Chairman Steve Berman, who worked closely with all of the music and visual artists.
