One of the most acclaimed artists to emerge from postwar Asia, Takashi Murakami—“the Warhol of Japan"—is known for his contemporary Pop synthesis of fine art and popular culture, particularly his use of a boldly graphic and colorful anime and manga cartoon style. Murakami became famous in the 1990s for his “Superflat" theory and for organizing the paradigmatic exhibition of that title, which linked the origins of contemporary Japanese visual culture to historical Japanese art. His output includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, animations, and collaborations with numerous brands and celebrities including Kanye West, Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams and Google. In September 2010 Murakami became the third contemporary artist, and first Japanese, to exhibit at the Palace of Versailles in France. Auction record: $15m USD, Sotheby's, 2008.
