At a recent art world dinner [MoMA Curator Klaus] Biesenbach mentioned to me that he’d crossed paths with Lady Gaga, who said that she felt she was a performance artist — or an artist of some sort. Biesenbach responded that she was not, and reportedly she was a bit taken aback and stunned at his...

I think Bettie's torch has been carried by a panoply of subcultures then. Something very transcendent about her power as an image that she has been picked up by so many. Even one image of her is potent. I can't think of another woman, or even person, whose image has has such a strong impact on me, knowing nothing more about the person's background.
