About this product

Product Information

Takashi Murakami is one of contemporary art's most innovative and important figures. Drawing from street culture, high art, and traditional Japanese painting, Murakami takes the contemporary art trend of mixing high and low to an unprecedented level (critics call him the new Warhol), producing original paintings and sculptures as well as mass-produced consumer objects such as toys, books, and most famously, a line of handbags for Louis Vuitton. A committed supporter and spokesperson for Japanese artists and a powerful commentator on postwar culture and society, Murakami has organized influential exhibitions of Japanese art as well as a biannual art fair in Tokyo. Murakami has positioned himself as a new type of artist for the twenty-first century: a hybrid of creator, entrepreneur, and cultural ambassador.In conjunction with the first major retrospective of his work, Murakami traces Murakami's global impact socially, culturally, and art historically. Essays focus on Murakami's early works, which were based on a social critique of Japan's rampant consumerism; the development of his characters; his work with anime, fantasy; otaku culture; and his engagement with global pop culture. Representing output from original works of art to mass-produced multiples, the catalogue also considers the implications of Murakami's working methods within the tradition of the Western avant-garde.

  • Murakami in a Nutshell until 2007.

    Murakami, Mr. Tokyo Japan Superflat, a great synopsis of his work, the hyper perverted anime robotech transforming big breast doll, the DOB micky mouse / sonic the hedgehog hack, the buddha frog statues that were featured in predominant NYC commercial district landmarks, Murakami's early work hacking the Tamiya RC car logo, the LV collaboration in pastels, a lot of the Ropponghi Hills influence artwork - the little flowers that Kanye West likes so much (and obviously, many more collectors), the gout period in which Murakami's mushrooms are throwing up and lots of pain, suffering, and blackness are instilled and splattered across the surface optimism and happiness of the colorful characters. Thing about living legends and trying to tie up a living artists work is that an artist is never ...

  • Beautiful! A Great Companion to the LV Books

    This is a beautiful book with amazing images of artworks. The book is of high quality. It makes a great companion to a recent purchase of Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture (book cover and some sections depict Murakami's work for Louis Vuitton), as well as Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury.
