Photography enthusiasts, “Little Monsters,” and fashionistas everywhere are looking forward to next month's art book release from Grand Central Publishing, Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson. This hardcover coffee table book features more than 350 original, previously unpublished photos of Lady Gaga taken by well-known fashion photographer Terry Richardson. Richardson's provocative editorial photographs have been featured in GQ, Harper's Bazaar, and the French, British, and Japanese editions of Vogue. Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson, slated for November 22nd release, is a compilation of photos taken on Lady Gaga's latest Monster Ball tour, including candid shots showing Gaga in her more private moments, on the road, backstage, and creating in her studio. Richardson followed Lady Gaga for ten months, taking over 100,000 pictures and attending over thirty concerts around the world. From Lady Gaga's appearance at Lollapalooza in August, 2010, to the final show of the 2011 Monster Ball tour, Richardson's photos give the viewer an inside look at the pop star's everyday experiences as one of the biggest celebrities of our time. Whether or not you like Lady Gaga's music, the depth and beauty of these photos are highly enjoyable from an artistic point of view and a human interest perspective, as Richardson's work delivers the sincerity and quality that many art book enthusiasts love. The foreword to the book is written by Lady Gaga herself, and the photographs are as daring and honest as one would expect from Terry Richardson, whose photo of Gaga in a raw meat bikini made splashes in the fashion world when it was featured on the cover of Japanese Vogue. Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson is destined to be a hit as it blends the worlds of art, music, humanity, and fashion in a way that only a true artist can.
