Takashi Murakami
I have been a fan of Takashi Murakami since I saw an exhibition of his work at the Serpentine Gallery in 2002. So I made a beeline for the major retrospective at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The exhibition, in the hanger like Geffen Contemporary featured some 90 artworks including paintings, sculpture, installation and film.
In a perfect merging of art and commerce, the exhibition also incorporated a temporary Louis Vuitton store displaying and selling Murakami’s celebrated brightly hued logo designs.
