Current Exhibitions
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.
From the archive
Lutz Bacher
For her exhibition at the Aspen Art Museum, Lutz Bacher presents her Aspen drawings, a series of drawings recently uncovered from her archive, and which she produced in Aspen in June of 2010. In addition to these drawings, the exhibition includes a new installation comprising a monumental pile of plaster molds. Both bodies of work evoke Bacher’s interest in articulating surface and volume while expanding her interest in converging seemingly disparate entities in unexpected ways.
