Murakami
Date undefinedI saw these books at the Brooklyn Museum retrospective, was impressed with the quality of the paper and printing, and then thrilled to get a new copy for so much less $$ than at the Museum store! (Which was sold out of them anyway.)
Murakami's work is not for the faint of heart. If you are not already familiar with his tropes, or those of modern Japanese art and anime, this book will immerse you and draw you in. You might spend hours poring over the fantastic details in the paintings, making delightful discoveries of characters and actions. A great gift book too!

Date undefinedThis book is about Takashi Murakami, if you can't tell by the title already. Half of the book is about how he got started and what he does and why. The other half is all high quality images of his artwork, including his sculptures. This book is huge, like a text book. Free shipping at Amazon is worth it. For the price this book is definitely worth it. It has a couple three-page spreads of long paintings and all of the images are beautiful. Very nice quality printing and paper, plus tons of information about this awesome designer. It is a good add to a collection of contemporary artists. A must have for art, japan and design lovers.

Date undefinedThis book is very large, about the size of a tabloid newspaper, and quite thick. The paper stock is some of the nicest I've ever seen. The text is well written, analyzing Murakami's influences and impact on the art world and world at large in a serious and thoughtful manner. The reproductions of his art are fantastic and include virtually every one of his pieces to date. Highly recommended for any fan.
