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.

A Fragile But Marvelous Life
Taking its inspiration from artist Allan Kaprow’s Happenings—“something spontaneous, something that just happens to happen”—A Fragile But Marvelous Life presents a series of works that investigate the relationship between everyday movement and performance. The exhibition examines the notion of performance as not only the execution of an action, but also as a mode of behavior.
