So Clever and Sooooo Plastic! It certainly is a reflection of the "superflat" consciousness of this era. Murakami is the Walt Disney of the "Artworld" – he has 90 "artists" making this "work" for him! He is a designer of pop culture and a very clever one at that.
Is it Art? Not really… It exists in the head, not in the heart….

The work refers to the Otaku culture in Japan it is very insightful you should probably take the time to read about the art before you make lame comments

Right, that's the whole point, we don't want the same boring stuff made in the USA. You simplistic comment makes the point

I appreciate the artist, but find the work lifeless and without emotion. It may be representative of Japanese culture, but that doesn't make it good. Murakami comments on modern culture, but where is the variation, where is the artist's growth? I would think, by now, he would be terminally bored.

It’s so evident that Takashi Murakami is a very important artist for the XXIst century and more… I’d like to work with him.
