Takashi Murakami: The Meaning of the Nonsense of the Meaning by Takashi Murakami, Amanda Cruz, Midori Hatsui, Amada Cruz, Midori Matsui, Dana Friis-Hansen, Bard College Center for Curatorial Studies Museum (Paperback, 2000)

Takashi Murakami is one of the most thoughtful -- and thought-provoking -- Japanese artists of the 1990s. His work ranges from cartoony paintings to quasi-minimalist sculptures to giant inflatable balloons to performance events to factory-produced watches, T-shirts, and other products, many emblazoned with his signature character, Mr. DOB. Murakami mixes and morphs on canvas, light boxes, posters, and other mediums. His rich body of work reflects his voracious appetite for postwar history, art, and popular culture from Japan and the West, and has attracted the attention of the international art world.Takashi Murakami is the first monograph on this important artist. With reproductions of dozens of Murakami's works, insightful essays, and an exuberant Tokyo-pop design, this book will appeal to contemporary art fans as well as people interested in anime (animation films), manga (comics), and other aspects of Japanese popular culture.
