Takashi Murakami - © Murakami

Hardcover, 13" x 10", 330pp

Accompanying MOCA’s exhibition, © MURAKAMI, this publication marks the first comprehensive catalogue of the work of Takashi Murakami. One of contemporary art’s most innovative and important figures, Murakami draws from street culture, high art, and traditional Japanese painting, taking the postwar art trend of mixing high and low to an unprecedented level. Co-published by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Rizzoli International Publications, and Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. and designed by award-winning graphic designer Lorraine Wild of Green Dragon Office, © MURAKAMI traces the artist’s global impact socially, culturally, and art historically.

Edited by Paul Schimmel and Lisa Gabrielle Mark, with essays by Dick Hebdige, Midori Matsui, Scott Rothkopf, Paul Schimmel, and Mika Yoshitake
