Richard Gallo (1946-2007) was an American stage actor, performance artist, and experimental theater stage director, noted mostly for his street performances and provocative costumes.
His work blurred the boundaries between performance art, theatre, and fashion.
Gallo performed outside the luxury stores and hotels on Fifth Avenue wearing costumes that referenced glamour, sadomasochism, and high fashion.
His street performances challenged mainstream conceptions of identity, masculinity, and sexuality.
He was known as “Lemon Boy" for his use of lemons as props.
