Murakami Hits NYC

Following the debut of his retrospective, ©Murakami, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles in October, the exhibition is preparing for its New York premiere at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, which will host more than 90 works by the Japanese artist from April 5 to July 13. On April 3, a gala will take place at the museum's Eastern Parkway locale adjacent to Prospect Park. And at Thursday night's (Auction) Red gala at Sotheby's, Murakami revealed that Kanye West will reprise his role with a mini-concert, while Jay-Z has signed on as a co-chair. What's more, the Louis Vuitton brand, which made retail history with its first-ever pop-up shop within MOCA to herald the exhibit, plans on installing a similar concept at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
