Art Safari - Takashi Murakami - Toying with Art
Description: Takashi Murakami is Japan's most successful contemporary artist, and also the art world's best art investment -- prices for his work have risen twenty times over less than ten years. He makes super-sized toys and cartoons as contemporary art. He runs a huge international art business with studios in Japan and New York. He curates exhibitions and organizes art fairs. He has turned his art into a brand with everything from mouse pads to chocolate crunch. He is the new Warhol for the 21st Century. His art looks superficial and commercialized but host Ben Lewis goes to Tokyo and discovers that behind it lies a theory about the history of Post-War Japan.
