© Murakami Exhibition at Brooklyn Museum

Takashi Murakami, the globally known Japanese contemporary artist, is to hold an exhibition displaying his work at the Brooklyn Museum next month.

If his name sounds familiar then it is possibally due to the fact that he designed and created the album cover for Kanye West's recent album,'Graduation' and he also designed Louis Vuitton's Monogram Multicolore and the smiling cherry blossom handbags and accessories.

Spanning close to around a 100 of his works and projects, the exhibition will highlight Murakami's career and be on display in an 18,500 square foot gallery, revealing works from 1992 up to 2000 and show his progression as an artist.

The exhibition will be to explore his identity and to look into branding. The gallery will open April 5th till July 13th, 2008.
