Murakami in Brooklyn

Anyone gonna be at the opening reception or there next Saturday?

Also, anyone know if there are gonna be any prints released?

 

Out of my reach but where is he appearing? Museum? Gallery?

 

He's going to have the full solo show treatment at the Brooklyn Museum.

 

so there

 

sigh I wish I was there... have been a fan for 10 years and the only work I have seen is the painting in MOMA.

 

im so excited

 

Is it Sat evening? If so, I might be able to swing it.

 

Party is thursday I believe it opens on Friday. Im gonna be there Thursday. Hopefully some other SBers are there.

 

I'm supposed to be there Thursday. I just have to see if I can free the time up in my schedule. If I cannot I will probably see it mid week next. I don't know if there's any prints or just more of the stretched canvas over metal with the LV patterns like there were in MOCA. If it's just more of those I don't know if my credit cards can absorb more of them. (I still haven't hung the ones from the CA show) I'd love there to just be a print print but we will see.

 

take some photos if you can!

 

Ah, if it'S Thurs or Fri I'm definitely out. Oh well!

 

The MOCA show was awesome. Have fun!!

NY Times slideshow on assembling Murakami shit at the museum

 

I'm jealous. Being in the NW I haven't seen anything of his since the Superflat show.
Are there going to be any outrageously priced prints? If anyone wants to play a belated April Fools joke on their bank account you could buy one for me.

 

Thanks for the link to the pictures.
Wish I can check it out in person.

 

the nyt thing mentioned some $6k prints being available

More awesome pics

 

I dropped the ball on the LA show but with the NY Comicon coming up I think I just found the perfect weekend trip!

Now to free up 6 grand and some wall space...

 

wow thats some insane stuff!!!

 

private party tonight, members preview tomorrow, so I guess it's zoo time with the animals on Sat. Who's there?

 

The show blew my face off. Truly incredible.

 

going to get some breakfast and then we are on our way.....see you there...

 

what I said again....sorry

 

Anyone know if theyre sold out of the lithographs?

 

The Wife of the Brooklyn Bourough president snaked 8 placemats that Murakami designed for patrons of the fancy dinner then she had him sign them all and when people called her out she was all "you snooze you lose!" and laughed it off... When they busted on the Bourough President (Think Mayor Quimby) he was all "Ya win some you lose some" trying to be endearing when they were just gonna flip em... what assnumps
