Watch Jay-Z turn ‘Picasso Baby’ into performance art

Jay-Z has turned the second song of his new album “Magna Carta Holy Grail� into a new art form.

The musical mogul Wednesday repeatedly rapped “Picasso Baby� during a six-hour performance piece at the Pace Gallery in New York.

In what will likely become a music video, Jay-Z was surrounded by an entourage of cameras, curators, celebrities and Picasso’s own granddaughter.

“I’m the modern day Pablo / Picasso, baby,� the rapper repeated to a demur Diana Widmaier Picasso.

The song could double as an arts education, name-dropping Basquiat, Art Basel, Da Vinci, the Louvre and the Tate Modern with expletives in between.

�.... it I want a billion / Jeff Koons balloons,� Jay-Z sang to the colorful crowd wrapping around the stark gallery.

Jay-Z shared a small stage with a succession of artists, celebrities and gallery-goers, including Alan Cumming and Jemima Kirke, then serenaded performance artist Marina Abramovi.

The pair uncomfortably locked eyes and rubbed foreheads, reminiscent of her 2009 “The Artist Is Present� exhibition in which she eyed a series of strangers for hours.

“I had no idea what I was going to do,� Abramovi told the New Yorker of her intense exchange with Jay-Z. “I just came here and felt the energy.�
