Aspen Art Museum
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.

Have you ever taken a picture of a picture? In this Workshop, where photography mixes with a game of show-and-tell, we’ll use our cameras to snap our most prized possessions such as toys, books, posters, and even music to create new works of art that document who we are, what we like, and what’s cool!
