april 12, 2008 if you haven’t yet, allow the brooklyn museum to rob you of $10 to view art, which should be free! takashi murakami’s colors and “Super-Flat” images are bold and exciting. Murakami’s work has influenced fashion, made clear with a louis vuitton showcase and cashier smack in the middle of the exhibit. Don’t be fooled by cute little flowers or his charming D.O.B character, the explicit captions on some of the paintings implies mystery behind the master. The paintings’ blurbs, usually meaty with some history or artist intentions, were disappointingly sparse, leaving me wanting more murakami!
