The photo above records Lady Gaga and acclaimed Italian video artist Francesco Vezzoli's performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Gaga is playing a Steinway grand piano painted bright pink with shimmering blue butterflies by Damien Hirst, the richest and arguably most famous contemporary artist on the planet. Her hat was designed by architect Frank Gehry who designed the Guggenheim in Bilbao. She and Vezzoli donned masks created by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and his production designer wife, Catherine Martin. And if that wasn't enough high art/fashion on one stage, Gaga also had a dozen dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet, who wore costumes created by Vezzoli and Miuccia Prada, head of the famous fashion house.
Lady Gaga - "Bad Romance"
Lady Gaga - "Poker Face"
There is no question about it, Gaga is a kook! But hey, I never saw Britney Spears in a Frank Gehry hat. As far as pop music goes, Gaga is the best I've seen yet - an elaborate and unpredictable entertainer rich with talent.
