Takashi Murakami, Brooklyn Museum
Takashi Murakami is a great japanese artist and the creator of 90 wonderful works, which include paintings, wallpapers, colorful sculptures, drawings and a 20-minute animated video.
This exhibition will be exposed to Brooklyn Museum in New York. It will expend 18,500 square feet of space spread over two floors. Amazing I would say!According to the statistics of the museum, this show is the second largest show in Brooklyn Museum after the Saatchi Collection in 1999.
Mr. Murakami has received an international popularity for combining fine art with famous Japanese anime movies and manga cartoons. The show also includes a fully operational Louis Vuitton shop selling some of Mr. Murakami’s designs. For example a leather strap for a cellphone carries a $220 price tag; handbags range from $1,310 to $2,210.
Mr. Murakami first became famous in the 1990s for a theory he called Superflat. The retrospective begins with his fantastical and sometimes dark universe from that period. Creatures like Mr. DOB, a Mickey Mouse-type character, and Mr. Pointy, another cartoonlike creature, inhabit this space alongside smiley-faced flowers and colorful mushrooms.
“©Murakami” opens on Saturday and continues through July 5 at the Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park „
