Takashi Murakami is undoubtedly one of Japan’s most well known visual artists, having featured installations in Rockefeller Center, and having graced the album cover of Kanye West’s Graduation. Now, he comes to the Brooklyn Museum with the exhibition © MURAKAMI, which compiles work from his entire career for an explosion of superflatness. The exhibit will be open from April 5th through July 13th. For more information visit the Brooklyn Museum site, where you can also find information about the recently opened exhibit Utagawa: Masters of Japanese Print.
