Robert Wilson has died
Over a six-decade career, he created elegantly stylised performances and images with collaborators including Marina Abramović, Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson and Lady Gaga
According to a statement released by the Watermill Center, the arts organisation he founded in Water Mill, New York, Wilson died at his home there on Thursday (31 July) following “a brief but acute illness”. The work features portraits of Lady Gaga in the style of famous paintings, including Jacques-Louis David’s The Death of Marat(1793) and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière(1793-1807). Its annual benefit gala, often featuring performers in elaborate plein air stagings throughout its grounds, has long been a fixture of the Hamptons summer social calendar.
