Murakami

Takashi Murakami, one of the most influential contemporary artists to emerge from Japan in recent years, has a comprehensive retrospective exhibit opening April 5th at the Brooklyn Museum.
According to the museum, “The exhibition © MURAKAMI explores the self-reflexive nature of Murakami’s oeuvre by focusing on earlier work produced between 1992 and 2000 in which the artist attempts to explore his own reality through an investigation of branding and identity, as well as through self-portraiture created since 2000.”
