Opening Monday, June 27th at the Gagosian in London will be a new body of work from Takashi Murakami. It’s been a while since the founder of the Superflat movement has shown in the UK, and it looks like he will be revisiting his overtly sexual sculptural works ala Miss Ko and My Lonesome Cowboy with this new piece seen above entitled 3-Meter Girl. Along with a metal penis of towering proportions, Mr Big Mushroom, and Miss Clam, a metal vagina, the show certainly promises to be provocative especially with planned reinterpretations of the paintings of Kuroda Seiki, who spearheaded the Japanese acceptance of the nude figure as a subject for art in the early 1900s.
Another piece after the jump…
