Synopsis
A comprehensive volume--overseen by the artist himself--on one of the most renowned living artists today, Takashi Murakami. Takashi Murakami is celebrated the world over for his deft blurring of high and low art. In this volume, accompanying a major exhibition of his work and the first in the Middle East, readers are immersed in the unique way Murakami channels the ecstasy and anxiety of contemporary culture. Conceived by the artist as a self-portrait in the guise of a cartoon, Murakami - Ego illuminates the role of the artist as a cipher and critic of pop phenomena as well as a mirror of global networks of consumerism, interpretation, and exchange. The book features some of the artist's most celebrated series, including Kaikai Kiki Lots of Faces and Pom and Me. Murakami has conceived of the exhibition itself as a work of art, creating new modes of display that include sculptural pedestals with digital animation, a circus tent that doubles as an indoor cinema, and an impressive 300-foot-long painting, all of which are featured in the book. In addition to an interview by curator Massimiliano Gioni, Murakami will contribute writings on various works.

    A iconic item that is to be a gift for my wife -- her favorite book signed by her favorite author. The seller presented a reasonable Buy It Now offer that I swept up. Shipping was efficient and I truly appreciate how attentively the book was packaged for safe delivery without suffocating it in over-packaging as others sometimes do. If only they had included some Cooper's BBQ... I should have requested it. Or Kreuz's, but not Black's or Salt Lick, those are overrated. Alas, maybe next time?
