Description:The first major U.S. monograph in ten years on Murakami is the definitive survey of the paintings of one of today's most influential artists.Takashi Murakami (b. 1962), one of contemporary art's most widely recognized exponents, receives a long-awaited critical consideration in this important volume. Accompanying the first retrospective exhibition devoted solely to Murakami's paintings, this book traces Murakami's career from his earliest training to his current studio practice.Where other books address the commercial aspects of Murakami's work, this is the first serious survey of his work as a painter.
