Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg
Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg is a richly illustrated art book examining the career and paintings of one of Japan’s most influential contemporary artists.
Created to accompany the first major retrospective devoted specifically to Takashi Murakami’s paintings, the book traces his development from his early artistic training through to his international career and contemporary studio practice.
Rather than focusing on Murakami’s commercial collaborations, this volume takes a deeper look at his work as a painter. It examines his relationship with traditional Japanese art, folklore and postwar Japanese culture, while exploring the contrasts that define his work: high and low culture, ancient and modern, East and West, and fine art and popular culture.
Featuring extensive illustrations, previously unpublished material, critical essays, a detailed biography and exhibition history, The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg is an essential Murakami book for collectors, contemporary art enthusiasts and fans of Japanese art.
