Sukiyaki: The Blossoms of Takashi Murakami

[oopsnow]

By coming up with what has to be the best take on the monogram since the 2003 Murakami? Words (and bad jokes) with those fantastic paint splashes really give that boring brown LV look great pizazz, no?

Hee, nah, I'm a Murakami fan for sure, but I have to say I was disappointed with the Monogramouflage - the joke series trounces it for sure IMHO. Thanks for the article tho! It made me sadder that I missed the LA MoCA retrospective sigh

I just saw this. Sorry! Been away.

You make some good points. I like the Jokes because they are off the wall but Monogramouflage has its good points; it at least has a consistent pattern. But I will say this, people had a lot more to say about my Richard Prince article than this one. I think Prince's work contains "more art" than Murakami's, even in the bags.

Pictures from the MoCA exhibit are available at Murakami's site, I think. They are pretty cool. Take a look.
