Lady Gaga's new album is due Noember 11, and already her single is a it of a love letter to artist Jeff Koons.
The Jeff Koons-designed cover features Gaga as Mother Monster. This means Gaga isn't just a "flash in the pan," curator and Koons scholar Lynne Warren told MTV News.
"Jeff is very — he just has this sort of laser sense about popular culture," Warren told MTV News.
Koons rendered a statue of Michael Jackson in the late '80s.
Warren added, "Jeff seems to have really good senses to choose people who are not only at the height of their careers, but are going to be iconic," Warren said. "They won't be remembered just because he made art out of them, they will be remembered on for their own contributions. He must feel like Lady Gaga is not going to be a flash in the pan."
