This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hubert Kretzschmar is a German graphic artist based in New York City. At 24, left his town of Karlruhe to move to New York. By that same year, he co-created the artwork for arguable The Rolling Stones most visually exciting album cover, Some Girls. In 1986, he designed Kraftwerk's futuristic album cover Electric Café. Based off that visual, Kraftwerk had their stage costumes designed which they perform in to this day.
In 2023, Some Girls celebrated its 45 years anniversary with the band widely discussing the milestone and the iconic imagery co-created by Kretzschmar. Mick Jagger has said it's one of his favorite albums.[1] [2]
Kretzschmar designed the cover for The Rolling Stone's Tattoo You. [3] It featured close up black and white photos of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards with tattoo illustrations on their faces. It was controversial as many people failed to recognize the cover photo to be Jagger and believed it to be an unknown female. When asked why he didn't photograph the rest of the band, Kretzschmar explained,"It was a decision that Mick and Keith must have made. I remember Charlie was at the photo shoot with both of them, no effort was made to get him to pose or be part of it."[4]
The estate of The_Rolling_Stone drummer Bill Wyman sold a poster of the artwork for $2,880. [5]
He also designed The Rolling Stone's album Undercover of the Night. The Rolling Stone's guitarist Ronnie Wood's website credits him with the cover art photography and illustration.[6][7]
Kretzschmar's art, photography, and design for 4 of The Rolling Stone album covers toured in The Rolling Stone's Exhibitionism. The exhibition was a visual and audio tour recounting the band's 50 years making music.[8]
The MOMA in New York City has exhibited his artwork for The Rolling Stones and Kraftwerk.[9][10]
His Rolling Stone artwork collection can be seen online at Lichtfeld Gallery and his portrait of Andy Warhol.[11][12]
In 2000, he designed Iggy Pop cover art for his live album, Live in NYC.[13]
His work is discussed in countless books on the music and cultural influence of The Rolling Stones[14] and even the Talking Heads.[15]
