The video for “Hold Up,” for example, the song from Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” album in which she saunters down the street in a golden yellow dress busting out car windows, appears to reference a similar sequence in a 1997 project by Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist. Ricky Saiz directed the video.īringing their music into the museum setting is a natural development given the couple’s penchant for collecting art and previous collaborations and connections with artists. The song was written and produced by Pharrell and the Carters and features vocals by Quavo and Offset from the Migos, who are also co-writers.

Elsewhere in the museum, they work their hips before “The Coronation of Napoleon,” an 1807 painting by Jacques-Louis David. The dancers perform synchronized choregraphy on the grand Daru staircase that ascends up to the museum’s iconic Winged Victory of Samothrace, a marble Hellenistic sculpture dating from about the 2nd century B.C. Amid calls to diversify museums, she’s staged an intervention with a procession of black female dancers wearing nude-toned body suits in a spectrum of beige, tan, and brown. Powerful images have become Beyoncé’s stock-in-trade and in this regard the video doesn’t disappoint. The nine-track collaborative project is titled “Everything is Love” and both artists appear on every track including the first single “Apeshit,” the subject of the video.
