"  After a &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; (read: tiresome) contest on Twitter to get an Artpop-themed hashtag trending last night, Lady Gaga released her new album&amp;#039;s artwork. And then Twitter marked it as potentially sensitive material. Exciting! It&amp;#039;s a photo of a real doll-style sculpture of a naked Gaga created by artist Jeff Koons. It will be exhibited at Artpop&amp;#039;s official release party next month. (Which explains that suddenly the Koons is me&amp;quot; lyric from Artpop&amp;#039;s lead single, &amp;quot;Applause.&amp;quot;) There&amp;#039;s a big, shiny blue ball placed strategically in front of Gaga&amp;#039;s crotch; she&amp;#039;s cupping/covering her breasts with her hands and hair respectively. The background appears to be a collage of Botticelli&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;The Birth of Venus&amp;quot; and some black &amp;amp;amp; white photography probably shot by Terry Richardson. Gaga describes the artwork as something she cherishes, and &amp;quot;a real description of [her] mind.&amp;quot; Photo: Twitter "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
