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.

Beginning with his pioneering designs for United Nations refugee shelters in the mid-1990s, 2014 Pritzker winning architect Shigeru Ban has devoted himself to humanitarian efforts in the wake of some of the most devastating natural and manmade disasters of the past two decades. With projects jointly selected by Ban and AAM Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson, and the exhibition design done by the architect himself, Shigeru Ban: Humanitarian Architecture broadly explores this fascinating and inspiring component of the architect’s practice with full-scale examples of Ban’s groundbreaking designs.
All new Aspen Art Museum inaugural exhibitions are generously underwritten by Stefan Edlis and Gael Neeson. Indirect exhibition costs are funded in part by the AAM National Council.
