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.

Ryan Gander: Make every show like it’s your last
Nov 20, 2015-Feb 7, 2016
Artists
The Aspen Art Museum’s presentation of Ryan Gander’s Make every show like it’s your last—part of an international, multi-venue tour—is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States. The show brings together diverse biographical, narrative, and conceptual elements that reflect Gander’s interest in the circumstances of art production as well as our perception of objects. Encompassing Galleries 4, 5, and 6, all of the works that comprise Make every show like it’s your last exemplify Gander’s transdisciplinary practice, navigating the complexity of culture with cunning, humor, and experimentation.
AAM exhibitions are made possible by the Marx Exhibition Fund. General exhibition support is provided by the Toby Devan Lewis Visiting Artist Fund.
Make every show like it’s your last is funded in part by the AAM National Council.
