Creativity
- Takashi Murakami is one of the most successful contemporary Japanese artists. His diverse activities span art , design , animation , fashion and popular culture.
- Murakami received his doctorate from the prestigious Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, where he studied traditional nineteenth-century Japanese painting, known as Nihonga. However, the popularity of anime and manga directed his interest in the art of animation, because, as the artist himself said, "it was more representative of modern life in Japan." American popular culture in the form of animation, comics and fashion also influenced his work , which includes painting, sculpture, installations, animation and a wide range of commercial products.
- In 2000, Murakami curated the Superflat exhibition, which focused on the impact of the entertainment industry on contemporary aesthetics. Murakami is also known for his collaboration with Marc Jacobs to create bags and other products for Louis Vuitton . In his works, Murakami plays with opposites such as East-West, past and present, high and low, while remaining fun and accessible. His works unite the world of popular Japanese modern culture and historical Japanese painting.
- In 2007-2008, the artist held a large retrospective exhibition - “© Murakami”, which was shown at the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Museum fur Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao . The exhibition included more than ninety works in various media created throughout the artist’s career.
- In 2008, the sculpture of Takashi Murakami “My Lonesome Cowboy” (1998) was sold at Sotheby for $ 15.2 million (price record for Murakami) [1] .
- In 2010, the works of Takashi Murakami were exhibited at the Palace of Versailles in France
