April 5 – July 13, 2008, Brooklyn Museum of Art
The most comprehensive retrospective to date of the work of internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami includes more than ninety works in various media that span the artists entire career, installed in more than 18,500 square feet of gallery space. The Tokyo born artist has exhibited his work all over the world but is possibly best known for his 2003 collaboration with designer Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. Together they created a hugely successful line of Monogram bags, notably the Louis Vuitton Multicolore brand.
Having made fans out of Hollywood actors, fashionados, and musical artist like Kanye West who’s album art for “Graduation” was done in collaboration with Murakami. Marc Jacobs describes the opening ceremony for the exhibit as a “fantastic collision of fashion, art, and music,” adding that Murakami’s cross-branding style is “reminiscent of the old days, where creative people didn’t stay in their box but bonded with each other and collaborated with each other.”
