Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition.

Catalogue Note
“As a Japanese artist whose art is born in the chaos of an art scene without rules or distinctions, maybe I am able to break boundaries in ways that a Western artist cannot" (Takashi Murakami cited in: Jim Frederick, 'Move Over, Andy Warhol', Time Magazine Japan, 19 May 2003, pp. 42-44).
