Hall's paintings have been published on two LP sleeves ( A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson and The Compact King Crimson ) for the group King Crimson, and these three paintings ("The Landscape Player", "Earth" and "Il Divino") were bought by Robert Fripp from the Portal gallery during the mid-1970s.
