The Gagosian has officially announced that Takashi Murakami will be exhibiting at two of its New York galleries.
The Japanese contemporary artist is best known for his floral graphics, now a mainstream staple across genres including fashion and art. The showcase is expected to present never-before-seen works from Murakami, including pieces from his Clone x NFT project with RTFKT. The collection, which features 20,000 next-gen Avatars, is now available on OpenSea.

This presentation will mark the artist’s first exhibit at the Gagosian since 2007. Opening in May 2022, the exhibit will be hostd at 980 Madison Avenue in New York City.
