Comments on: Breaking: Japanese artist Takashi Murakami to exhibit in the Château de Versailles in 2010 http://artobserved.com/2009/09/breaking-japanese-artist-takashi-murakami-to-exhibit-in-versailles-in-2010/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:42:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Chamade http://artobserved.com/2009/09/breaking-japanese-artist-takashi-murakami-to-exhibit-in-versailles-in-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-24835 Chamade Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:41:50 +0000 http://artobserved.com/?p=18201#comment-24835 As a 46 year resident of Tokyo, I happen to like the creations of this not-so- original, era-blessed artist exploiting the short-lived arrival of 'anime' on the international art scene. He has chutzpah, and very lucky timing. But I predict his fame will be as evanescent as Japan's murky pink cherry blossoms. Moreoever, unless you're French and like so many French absolutely desperate for something to verify we are in the year 2010, his art hardly belongs anywhere at all near Versailles, unless, of course, we are saluting the incongruity of it all. As for quirk, Murakami's work is quirky enough to seem quirky no matter where it is exhibited. Amidst all the eternally persistent interior embellishment at Versailles, it just seems like a desperate attempt to be innovative and fails.
