Takashi Murakami Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1962 -

Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami was born in Tokyo in 1962. Inspired by anime, Takashi Murakami's artwork borders the line between fine and commercial art. Takashi Murakami's paintings go through several phases, including design, computer detailing, print, and multilayered paint applications. Due to the length of time it takes, Murakami employs assistants who help him complete his works. He uses bright colors and cheerful imagery, occasionally delving into darker themes.

The emotional strain between children and adults is a key element of Takashi Murakami's paintings, a theme influenced by Steven Spielberg films. In 2003, Murakami created a line of popular handbags for Louis Vuitton that sold out before they even hit the shelves. Takashi Murakami prints are found on shirts, postcards, and other novelty items. Appease your inner child by purchasing a vivid pop art painting online and bring back your sense of wonder.

Includes certificates for all figures, assembly kits and brochures. Manufactured by Kaiyodo (Japan) and published by Takara YKaiKai Kiki (Japan). The original boxes are unopened and the packaging is unopened. Measurements: 10,5 cm (larger); 14 x 19 x 21 cm (box). Set formed by ten figures representing some of the most iconic characters of the Japanese artist such as Kai Kai and Kiki, Mister Dob or Mis Ko2 (pink) Murakami is one of the most influential artists of the Japanese post-war generation. Takashi Murakami was trained at the National University of Fine Arts and Music in Tokyo, where he obtained a degree in Nihonga (traditional Japanese painting). In 1990 he was introduced to contemporary art by his partner and friend Masato Nakamura, and in 1993 he created his alter ego Mr. DOB. He then began to be recognised both inside and outside Japan for his particular synthesis of traditional Japanese art, the contemporary trends of his country (anime, manga, etc.) and American culture, mainly pop culture. In his work, Murakami conveys a critical vision of current Japanese society, the legacy of the country's cultural tradition, its evolution after the Second World War and its relationship with the Western world, especially with the United States. In his writings he coined the term "Superflat" to define his personal artistic style, a term that fits a work characterised by two-dimensionality and which also criticises the very structure of art, blurring the boundaries between high and low culture. In fact, his output spans multiple art forms, from painting and sculpture to industrial design, anime, fashion and other popular culture media and merchandising objects.
