Takashi Murakami - Enso - 2015

Takashi Murakami – Enso – Original edition 2015 – Perrotin / Dilecta

I offer for sale the very beautiful Enso catalog by Takashi Murakami, published in 2015 by Galerie Perrotin and Éditions Dilecta.

This work accompanies Murakami's exploration of Enso, the famous circle arising from the Japanese Zen calligraphic tradition. With Murakami, this ancestral motif meets his instantly recognizable universe, notably his flowers and skulls, to yield a series much more meditative and spiritual than his most pop works.

Very good overall condition, note a slight scratch on the front

The book offers a beautiful immersion into a particularly interesting period of Murakami's work, where his contemporary aesthetics directly dialogue with Japanese tradition.

The Enso series was presented in Tokyo during a Perrotin pop-up exhibition at the Kaikai Kiki Gallery from October 31 to November 21, 2015. It ran in parallel with the major exhibition The 500 Arhats at the Mori Art Museum, which was Murakami's first major solo exhibition in Japan for 14 years.

The Enso is traditionally created with a single fluid brushstroke, with no possibility to go back. It symbolizes emptiness, unity, and infinity in Zen Buddhism. Murakami reinterprets this traditional gesture here, notably using spray paint on backgrounds composed of his characteristic flowers and skulls.

A very fine volume for a collector of Takashi Murakami, of Japanese contemporary art or of POP culture
