The Brooklyn Museum rolled out the Superflat welcome mat of stars, vendors, and huge crowds for its retrospective of Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami. The show includes 90 works, a 20-minute video, and a fully operational Louis Vuitton pop-up boutique selling luxury bags festooned with Murakami's designs. The artist's conflation of high and low culture and commerce and fine art has raised comparisons to Andy Warhol and been met with mixed critical responses. One review called the show "repulsive," while another declared the new works "riveting." In a related story, Murakami's Oval Buddha, which was too large to fit in the exhibition, will be displayed in the 590 Sculpture Garden in Manhattan.
