Murakami Worth The Trip to Brooklyn
This exhibit is worth it’s gum dropped weight in neon plastic. If you know anything about Takashi Murakami, then you probably know the the label “Japanese Warhol,” too.
And if you’ve heard anything about this show, you’ve probably heard about the Louis Vuitton shop, hawking the artist’s collaborations with the fashion label. Yeah, folks if you missed out on the now sold out collaboration, this is your chance to pick up some ebay worthy finds.
The surface-obsessed Murakami calls the store “the heart of the exhibition,” but the more than 90 career-spanning works that you’ll also find here—who can forget the anime girl jumping a rope fashioned from the milk spurting from her oversize breasts?—should help lay bare the artist prone to making just such a seamlessly “controversial” claim.
