Jana Sterbak - The Originator Of The Meat Dress

As it so happens, there is one less thing for Gaga to claim originality on and that's the famous meat dress.  Yes, you heard that right.  Gaga was not the first person to think that one up. 

I'd like to introduce you to Jana Sterbek, a Canadian artist. Twenty four years ago in 1987, Jana created the controversial "Vanitas:  Flesh Dress For The Albino Anorexic" and chair made out of meat called "Chair Apollinaire". 

Jana's collection is on display at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris' modern art museum.
