NOTHING has been confirmed about the cover other than Koons made a colourful sculpture and it will be released on Monday! I have no clue where all this "spread legs" and "it's an example" crap came from? It's all rumors!!! no one has seen the final cover except Gaga, her team, and the record label so absolutely anything could be on it :)
Perhaps the white areas aren't only white coloring above the image but maybe the image is scrambled. I mean how silly would it be if an artwork has LADY GAGA covering half the image?
I think that this photo is not the album cover. I think it's just a promotional photo that Gaga will reveal before Monday. Remember, Gaga said COLORFUL this is not that colorful. It also has to represent all her eras. This is just another cool picture, but not album cover. ;)
Hmm. She has a thing for Venus like she did for Unicorns. I would like a simple album cover, a picture of her with the words "ARTPOP" Engraved. - Just me though :)
