An Homage to IKB 1957 B

by Takashi Murakami

Screenprint on paper by Takashi Murakami, An Homage to IKB 1957 B represents daisies repeated endlessly in the unmistakable Superflat style that characterizes the works of the Japanese artist.

The flower is one of Murakami's icons, present in several of his other works (such as Flowerball). In An Homage to IKB 1957 B, blue and pink colors prevail, in an evocative composition that conveys warmth and brightness.

In his works, Takashi Murakami merges the aesthetics of the Japanese manga and anime universe with Pop traits and Western culture pieces. As in the artworks by Andy Warhol, mass culture is central in the works by the artist Takashi Murakami, author of an art addressed to everyone.

Takashi Murakami has thus become one of the most highly regarded contemporary Japanese artists, and his iconic Superflat style is now a reference point for many other artists. An Homage to Monogold was made in 2012, measures 53x73 cm and is part of a limited edition of 300 original signed and numbered pieces.
