I love the amazing pop artworks of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. He was born in Tokyo in 1962 and has an impressive back catalog of international acclaim and exhibitions under his belt.
It just caught my eye that the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain is presenting a huge retrospective exhibition featuring more than 90 works of art by Murakami. The exhibition will be on from February 17 to May 31. This will surely be a show not to miss if you happen to be in Spain at this time.
These pictures above are from a large-scale installation at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art from 2007.
