Lot 459 Takashi Murakami. Genome No 10. 2009. …

Genome No 10. 2009. Mischtechnik mit Farboffsetlithographie auf Velin. 68 x 67 cm. Signiert und nummeriert. Punktuell auf Unterlage montiert, in Passepartout freigestellt und hinter Glas gerahmt (ungeöffnet). - Insgesamt sehr gut und tadellos. Brillanter Druck der formatfüllenden Komposition, die Farbe frisch und kraftvoll.

Pop Art – Eines von 300 Exemplaren. - Das zentrale Motiv der vorliegenden Arbeit von Takashi Murakami, eine abstrahierte Struktur aus biologisch anmutenden Formen, erinnert an eine DNA-Helix und verweist bereits im Titel auf genetische Codierung. Murakami kombiniert hier technoide Präzision mit ornamentaler Fülle und zeigt einmal mehr sein Bestreben, Natur, Technologie und Kultur in eine gemeinsame visuelle Sprache zu überführen. Als Begründer der sogenannten Superflat-Bewegung reflektiert Murakami mit Werken wie Genome No.?10 die Bildsprachen von Manga, Anime und Pop-Art, die er formal "verflacht", dabei aber mit konzeptueller Tiefe versieht. Die bewusste Aufhebung von Vorder- und Hintergrund, von Hoch- und Popkultur, aber auch die konsequente Nutzung moderner Druckverfahren unterstreichen seine Strategie: Die Oberflächlichkeit westlicher Konsumästhetik wird nicht nur zitiert, sondern als kritisches Prinzip der Gegenwartskunst produktiv gewendet.

Pop Art – Mixed media and colour offset lithography on wove paper. Signed and numbered. Mounted in spots on support, mounted in passepartout and framed behind glass (unopened). - Overall very good and flawless. Brilliant impression of the format-filling composition, the colour fresh and powerful. - one of 300 copies. - The central motif of the present work by Takashi Murakami, an abstract structure of seemingly biological forms, is reminiscent of a DNA helix and already refers to genetic coding in the title. Murakami combines technoid precision with ornamental abundance and once again demonstrates his endeavour to translate nature, technology and culture into a common visual language. As the founder of the so-called Superflat movement, Murakami's works such as Genome No. 10 reflect the visual languages of manga, anime and pop art, which he "flattens" formally, but adds conceptual depth to. The deliberate elimination of foreground and background, of high and pop culture, but also the consistent use of modern printing processes emphasise his strategy: the superficiality of Western consumer aesthetics is not only quoted, but also productively turned into a critical principle of contemporary art.
