Lady Gaga's ARTPOP album cover, created by Jeff Koons, combines contemporary art with graphic design by creating a modern interpretation of "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli. Koons's collaboration with Gaga exemplifies integrating art and music in graphic design history, fusing high art and commercial media. The design features a semi-nude, statue-like pose displaying fame, identity, and artistic expression themes. Also conveyed are exaggerated pop-art elements and a futuristic aesthetic, which reflect Gaga's signature style. The album cover also exemplifies how refined art concepts can be commercialized while reflecting current art and design trends. For example, Koons' use of digital media on the album cover, combined with the commodification of art and identity, reflects pushing the boundaries of traditional graphic design.
