You disappoint me, Ultra. I really thought you would post a picture of the male version of that sculpture. Hey, I heard Mini-G was considered a top contender to model for that sculpture too!

She is wearing a bikini top but no pants.. how dumb is that??

Methinks the artist has spent way too many hours alone with erotic manga.. he needs to get out more.

What did one saggy breast say to the other? We'd better get some support soon or everyone's going to think we're nuts. :twisted:

Takashi Murakami's works to come as candy freebies

Miniaturized modern works of art are now free -- with the purchase of two pieces of chewing gum for 350 yen. The gum-and-figurine boxes are a collaboration between artist Takashi Murakami and toy maker Takara Co. There are 10 figurines in the collection designed by Murakami, one in each pack. They include cartoonlike animals with dopey round eyes and mushrooms with eyeballs. The high-brow gum hits convenience stores Dec. 8]

With on ly 30,000 sets being produced, I imagine these will become collectors' items. J-list will sell the full set with a massive markup, and they'll getch good money on eBay too.

And, Taro, were you posting while drunk last night? I think the "paste" keys got the better of you. I'm sure you put up a valiant fight, though.

Does anyone else think of Ms. Dietz from Beetlejuice when they see that kind of art?

by **katakori** » Sun Oct 19, 2003 11:41 am

murakami is certainly a nice guy and his art (yes, it is art, even if you don't understand it. nobody said "art"'s definition is simple) is ok, but his biggest problem is that he doesn't DO it.

he has ideas and draws drafts. then his army of "assistant" monkeys do the stuff. very corporate like. the sculptures are made by sculptors, according to his drafts. then someone else colors it.

you want deviant art?

Good point. I went to the guy's website to check out his other "art". That's some sadistic shit. And the reviews don't convince me that it's good as art or otherwise. Well, I'm a 1st amendment absolutist, so I'm no proponent of censorship - but speaking as a consumer, why would anyone buy this stuff?

by **cstaylor** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 7:13 pm

...For the record, before too many more sexist accusations are directed at me, i should add that i have a large percentage of female admirers of my work

Non sequitur. Just like the racist who says, "I have black friends", or the homophobe, "I know someone who is gay". :roll:

by **kamome** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 3:06 pm

This Trevor Brown is an ass. Oh, if someone criticizes his "art" or perceives a misogynistic theme in it, then the critic must have mental problems or is a hypocrite? How convenient for him! Where's the basis for that statement?

Like I said, I would never advocate censorship, but I would hope that the market rejects his work as crap. Just for the record, I like edgy artwork that deals with difficult or controversial themes (Mapplethorpe's photography, for example) but Trevor Brown's stuff just doesn't rise to that level IMO.

Japan pop artists Versailles show sparks protests
AFP –- 2010 Aug 30
VERSAILLES, France --A show of outlandish sculptures by a cult Japanese artist in the historic Chateau of Versailles near Paris has enraged traditionalists who say it dishonours Frances past.
....eye-grabbing multicoloured statues in silver, fibreglass and metal by Takashi Murakami alongside the chateaus ornate murals and chandeliers.
"The Chateau de Versailles is one of the greatest symbols of Western history," Murakami said in a statement on the museums website.
"The Versailles of my imagination... has become a kind of completely separate and unreal world," he added. "That is what I have tried to depict in this exhibition."
Versailles enthusiasts however branded it an outrage to their beloved museum in the posh Paris suburb...
....Murakami has a global cult following, but his brash, colourful style and sometimes gleefully obscene subject matter are not to everyone's taste.
The 47-year-old artist's work evokes the look of "manga" comic books, perhaps most famously in the 1997 statue Hiropon, which depicts a large-chested girl skipping over a "rope" of spurting breast milk.
In another sculpture, "My Lonesome Cowboy", a naked young man finds a novel use for his own semen...more...

BBC: Aristocrat's anger at Versailles Murakami 'manga' show

A French aristocrat descended from Louis XIV is seeking a court order to stop a Japanese artist exhibiting his work at the Palace of Versailles. Work by Takashi Murakami, who blends Japanese classical art with manga-style modernity, is on show until December. But Prince Sixte-Henri de Bourbon-Parme believes Murakami's brightly coloured work dishonours the memory of his ancestors. The prince and fellow protesters say Murakami "denatures" French culture. "By exhibiting at Versailles, artists benefit from an added value," he told the AFP news agency. "We're not against the modernity of art but against a way of thinking that denatures and does French culture no good," the prince said...The Bourbon-Parme dynasty fought once before against an art exhibition at Versailles. In 2008 Prince Sixte-Henri's nephew, Prince Charles-Emmanuel de Bourbon-Parme, sought to ban a show by US sculptor Jeff Koons, but failed in the courts....more...
