Takashi Murakami (Japanese, b.1962) LOT ID: 104513 Flowers Blossoming in this World and the Land of Nirvana, 2013
The present lot by Takashi Murakami, renowned for his super-charged mix of Pop, animé, and otaku within a highly-stylized picture-plane, layers a range of Japanese cultural and religious influences. Murakami is the founder of the postmodern art movement, “Superflat,” which combines elements of Japanese culture with the flattening of the image, which recalls earlier Japanese printmaking from the 19th century.
