Featured Artist
Takashi Murakami
The Japanese artist Takashi Murakami combines highly refined classical Japanese painting techniques with distinctive Pop sensibilities. Known for his “Superflat” style, directly influenced by manga and anime, the artist creates works that explode with color and playfulness. For the 2015–16 ski season, in collaboration with Aspen Skiing Company, Murakami has produced four unique images, all of which embody his trademark visual aesthetic.

Join the opening of the Young Curators of the Roaring Fork (YCRF) teen-curated exhibition.
Since 2005, the AAM’s YCRF program has engaged high school students in a six-month program that builds aesthetic valuation, leadership, organizational, and critical-thinking skills. After participants lead a call for submissions, identify a theme, and assemble the exhibition, an opening is held to celebrate this student-driven initiative.
The 2020 exhibition runs from April 18–May 3.
