TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 They mixed the statue with an image of Gaga's face to make her look like a statue...photoshop has come a long way. Plus, the OP shows the REAL statue which looks nothing like the album cover, so why would they assume it's a statue? Did he make 2 and unveiled the ugly version in person? Ha ha no...

Luke78619 23,329 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I thought that the photoshoot koons did with Gaga which ended up in the album booklet was as reference for him to use to make the statue the statue is on the cover, but has obviously been edited to add colour, more defining details etc. to look like Gaga, there's no way that it's actually gaga as someone said, a really close look at a HQ image of the cover will show Photoshop detailsΒ insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeo 2,366 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The photoshoot with Koons was the base for the cover + statue, but I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that the cover was the statue but edited as hell lol Β I love this cover so much...

GypsyBabe 22,836 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 That statue and album cover is pure Koons. His work does not translate well inΒ photographs, but is very interesting in person.Β Also, the album cover is the statue.Β I like the finished album cover and have the holographic vinyl on my wall.Β β―Ν Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Isn't the image used on the cover of the album just the computer generated render that Koons later used to help mass construct/laser cut the statue itself? It has all the same dimensions and characteristics as the statue itself, except the physical statue is (unfortunately) completely monochromatic, giving it no depth under such harsh lighting. The render has the advantage of being touched up to look... well, less lifeless. edit: while I love the general concept of the album, and her collaboration with Koons, she honestly has made better, more interesting visuals on her goddamned IG during Cheek to Cheek than Koons' design of the cover. I have an intense love-hate relationship with that cover. Β 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
