Takashi Murakami Flower Ball (3D) – Sexual Violet No. 1, 2013
Offset lithograph in colors and high gloss varnishing on circular wove paper
Literature: A kaleidoscopic composition of smiling flowers, ‘Flower Ball (3D) – Sexual Violet No. 1' presents an optical illusion that bridges the gap between Eastern and Western art. Employing a false perspective, Murakami’s signature blooms recede into the edge of the paper, making the flat work appear convex and three dimensional. Its pattern draws upon traditional Eastern flower painting while its circular medium recalls the tondos of the Western Renaissance.
Dimensions: Dimensions N/A
signature info: Signed and numbered on recto
Dimension notes: Diameter: 27.95 in (71 cm)
