Kanye West's First Gallery Exhibit Featured His "Famous" Wax Figures

Kanye West may have a new video in rotation with the unveiling of the Teyana Taylor-starring "Fade" video, but it appears he's not quite done with his "Famous" run. The video for The Life Of Pablo standout was dubbed as "scandalous" and "controversial" for its portrayal of every fame-monger literally in bed with one another. Taylor Swift, Donald Drumpf, George W. Bush and, of course, Kimye were accounted for.

This past weekend the haunting wax figures were on full display at the Blum & Poe gallery in Los Angeles, where they rested undisturbed, while onlookers likely felt quite the opposite. That said, it did mark Kanye's first official gallery exhibit and may be a hint at what's to come in the dynamic artist's future endeavors (right after he gets Frank Ocean's Blonde on your radio dial.) The weekend also found Kanye predictably ranting at the MTV Video Music Awards, where he was granted four minutes of free reign, for better or worse.

If you've yet to see Teyana Taylor's electrifying performance in the "Fade" video, we implore you to do so at your earliest, least public convenience. You can also catch Kanye on a floating stage for his Saint Pablo Tour this fall.
