His work is charming, witty, colorful, mischievous, and delightful. Cute even. And ultimately complex. In 2008 Time Magazine hailed him as one of the 100 most influential artists of our time. Now Takashi Murakami’s sculptural creations grace the halls and galleries of the Palace of Versailles, greeting us as whimsical figures, fabulous forms, and fantastical flamboyance that might not be quite so out of place in a hall of mirrors and gold guilt-smothered ceilings that were once the wild imagination of a king. Many of Murakami’s pieces are exhibited for the first time; some of them took years to finish. For lovers of contemporary art at its most innovative – in a setting of utter splendor – this is an exhibition not to be missed!Details
