Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics by Takashi Murakami (Artist); Anne Nishimura Morse (Editor) "Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics: presents key examples of Murakami's work alongside a rich selection of Japanese masterpieces spanning several centuries and arranged here according to concepts laid out by his mentor and foil, leading Japanese art historian Nobuo Tsuji. Illustrated with Tsuji's selections from the pre-eminent Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as well as some of Murakami's best-known works of painting and sculpture, the combination of old and new in this volume enriches our understanding of each and ultimately shows us how contemporary art can be seen as part of a continuum or lineage.

Murakami Versailles by Takashi Murakami (Text by); Philippe Dagen (Text by); Jill Gasparina (Text by); Laurent Le Bon (Text by); Cedric Delsaux (Photographer) The marvelous chambers of the Château de Versailles boast such overwhelming splendors of décor and craft that it might seem the height of folly to pit the works of any one artist against them. Jeff Koons managed it in 2008, and in 2010, Japanese Pop impresario Takashi Murakami rose to the challenge. In a grand hall sporting a vaulted ceiling thick with paint and gold stands a snowman-like construction, stacked spheres of grinning Technicolor flowers that sprouted gleeful tentacles and antennae, while a blonde manga minx in a near-pornographic maid's costume offers an exuberant gesture of welcome. Across 125 color plates, this volume documents the show's 22 works.

Murakami by Scott Rothkopf (Text by); Mika Yoshitake (Contribution by); Paul Schimmel (Editor); Dick Hebdige (Text by); Lisa Gabrielle Mark (Editor); Midori Matsui (Text by) Takashi Murakami has positioned himself as a new type of artist for the twenty-first century: a hybrid of creator, entrepreneur, and cultural ambassador. In conjunction with the first major retrospective of his work, "Murakami" traces Murakami's global impact socially, culturally, and art historically. Essays focus on Murakami's early works, which were based on a social critique of Japan's rampant consumerism; the development of his characters; his work with anime, fantasy; otaku culture; and his engagement with global pop culture. Representing output from original works of art to mass-produced multiples, the catalogue also considers the implications of Murakami's working methods within the tradition of the Western avant-garde.
