- Takashi Murakami is unquestionably the most famous artist in the world of Japanese contemporary art. He owes much of his success to hard work and a lack of sleep. “If I relax for more than six hours, I feel like I’m being extremely lazy and I have to get back to work. I can’t really relax,” he told us. The relentless output of new works, sculptures, and exhibitions crafted by himself and his global team of 300 Kaikai Kiki Gallery assistants is driven by one simple dread: “I fear that people will get bored of me,” he said.
We shadowed Murakami for three consecutive days prior to his massive “HEADS⟷HEADS” exhibition at New York City’s Galerie Perrotin. From observing the unreal synchronization of workers at his L.I.C. studio to encountering crazed fans at his meet-and-greet for the Uniqlo UT Doraemon collaboration, we offer viewers a rare look at the artist responsible for the limelight.

Takashi is a homless rich guy
He’s disguising his wealth
-BeyondAir- my typa vibe. But I’m the broke part
Murakami early work (1992) th-cam.com/video/taGarNIY5As/w-d-xo.html
Very true lmao, He's just super humble in my opinion
he’s not rich he is whealthy
Ppl who just know him for his flower pieces try exploring his other large scale pieces. The detailing and intricacy of some of his massive pieces are incredible. His art is unprecedented in modern art in regards to vibrancy.
Like the statue of the guy cumming!
I can really just agree, I always thought he‘s just kind of a cartoon artist until I saw his big show in the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris last year. It was really mind opening. He is maybe not comparable on the level of hyper-intellectuality like the most other big artist but he’s doing his thing with more twists than you would expect on the first sight
@@moritzsimon6613 i can see how one might consider his work cartoonish but the best artists are working on invoking emotional interaction rather than over done "intellectual" content. That sort of thing is for the rich elitists showing off their collection while sipping champagne and snorting cocaine. most of them care more about provenance than anything else. Most people outside of japan only know murakami because of louis vuitton. He deserves better recognition than that.
his flower piece is also in an animation he made for billie eilish.
OH YEAH! Like the statue of an anime guy cumming in the air around him.
His art is garbage, and the fact that you guys pay him so much for it is insane.
Yo these English captions are CRAZY!
dawg i was like, are they wrong intentionally lmao
Are they real or fake?
I see nothing wrong, everythings absolutely normal.
I think is wrong or he's a real douche at the beginning talking with the girl!
Nah it's wrong. He isn't like that. You can tell when you see the subtitles during the store wherehe is signing. She said "taking" not "slaving" people. Still funny tho.
the quote in the beginning is powerful. to consumers, the newest thing really is a glimpse of the future. and of course, who wouldn't want the ability to see the future?

I was shook at that quote. It made me question my reality tbh
@@nonk6441 THERE WAS NOTHING PROFOUND. JUST PRETENTIOUS DRIVEL.
@@franzhaas3712 ok
@@cherrynado bro go outside
i’m 19 and i have found murakami an inspiration since i was 15 years old. I hope to become a flower installation artist and one day and to make a BIG murkami happy flower made fully of real flowers.
All he everyday shows is the Smiling Sunflowers but his other art is way more intriguing 😍😩
Like the statue of the guy cumming
That was back in the late 90s
His sculptures are awesome yes... and the hommage to Francis Bacon is interesting...

4:09 repping the creeper hoodie 😍😍😍
Murakami sama just pops on the floor and has a nap in the middle of the studio....love it
Who ever edited this, thank you, you portrayed what it is like to be famous yet unknown, the panic that comes with it, and also how an artist thinks and comes up with ideas
I went and saw his exhibit in Vancouver, and let me tell you, He is a genius of his craft. There is soo much more to him than just the flowers. His statues are immeasurably impressive and the excruciating detail and abstract order he puts into every piece sticks with me to this day.
Fascinating blend of aesthetics and culture
He slept in front of his hardworking crew 😂😂 like a main character who don't care about anyone from anime , he is something a body , beast inside , sort of !!?!!!(*^o^*)
I love this man with a *passion* his art is truly everything.
Wow wonderful lovely smarte super proud of best world Best my favorite part of best friend very nice to see you again soon meet
Anime is hard to watch without subtitles...
Very 😂
I was just looking at videos related to art and I stumbled upon this video it’s so lively and it has this sort of pressure behind it. I love it! That’s how I know I’m choosing my right path. Do what you love, not because of the outcome of it, but because of the experience and events you might come across. I’ve been in love with art since I was 6 and after 10 years I don’t plan to stop.
His artwork makes me so happy?
Dumb
JUST SAYEN....

Try little boy, very depressing
Takashi Murakami: Billie, collabbru?
Billie Eilish: DUH!
It's for J BALVIN!

ihahahha
billie eilish is shit not even worse
Its a j balvin collaboration.
I love his art since I first saw his Exhibition in Frankfurt MMK.
Amazing film! Takashi Murakami is one of my favorite artists!
Having ur art appreciated by the world would be a dream, but also a nightmare.
When he fell asleep he untied his hair when he woke up it was tied up 🤔
Yeah Yoda has the same power
Editing discontinuity.
Makes you think
Rex Longhon magic
I want to live that soooo bad….his art…dreamlike. The symmetry. My brain soothed 🧠 gotta get me a shirt with a dope print.
The idea of assistants doing the "heavy lifting" bothers me to no end! - I so endorse the sign David Hockney put next to his work when displaying near Damien Hirst: "All the works here were made by the artist himself, personally." Now we know that Murakami is a Japanese version of Hirst and Koons.
Not sure if I agree with this, you wouldn’t discount Tarantino if he didn’t set up all the lights, sound, and operated camera for Pulp Fiction on top of directing the talent would you?
I literally felt breathless after watching this. What a life.
He's really famous for being himself. Vibrantly.
I love those flowers😍
Such a great artist 🌸🌻🌼 murakamisan
I’d kill for one of his pieces
天才でもなく凡人でもなく、これが逸材
Favorite artist🌼🌼🌼🌼
Can I just say I look up to tekashi so much he’s an incredible artist that no one knows for besides billies music video and his flower peices he is much more than that I’d kill to meet him
great film about great artist
Muito bom! Parabéns!
This video came out on my birthday 🎂 😭❤️
those flowers are really pretty
my favorite!
Damn it, Murakami, nice reference and reinterpretation of famous paintings by Francos Bacon at the ending of the video
“Attention you creepy old stalkers” ffs sksksks 😂😂😂these captions are too funny
Reimagining Francis Bacon at the end? I love it!
pure art
Fantastic work, video is just perfect.
2:37 did he just take a nap
He go in his dream world to get inspirations
I got to photograph him for a Japanese editorial and got some great shots. He was there working all night. Been a fan since his super flat show at the Pacific Design Center. His pieces were selling for a one million at the time. For a living artist that was a big deal.
the cut is crazy
I hope he does another Uniqlo collab!! Also can’t wait for the new complex merchandise!! My last Murikami print went up crazy in value!
The captions may not be precise but i think it sends the real message behind the actual things they say.
Me encanta
Ayee I met him that day in the Uniqlo drop. He was too nice, I know he was overwhelmed asf
🌼Takashi Murakami 🌼
Great video 🤙 sadly I couldn’t make it to 5th Avenue in time to meet him
I like his pose & everythinggg→🤗 kawaiii~
The man, the myth, the legend
Nice to see I am not the only artist to sleep in my studio.
This is absolutely art factory.
jeff koons too
These flowers look so simple but yet they are a masterpiece. My first time seeing them was in G-Dragon’s Breathe MV where he wore a denim jacket pinned with individual flowers all over it.
When’s your first encounter with those famous flowers?
On Instagram
Omg tht was goldd, it's been so long since I've watch tht mv!!
The Fabriek of Art
いやすげえわ
FIRE !!!
I used to think Murakami is just another businessman that fakes to be an artist, but this video changed my view. It’s like a statement that reveals his real artist pursuit or something like that.
Those Francis Bacon rehashes at the end are so dope
He is like the happy version of andy warhol the factory
I really really really find the quote at the beginning of this video is so powerful!!! I'm not quite sure who this man is although for some reason I feel like I completely understand?
No way, he is creating in his sleeps! Great example. Ok, I better get some sleepsss too. Cheers
He’s such a unique individual and I respect him so much
Nice.
Saw his work in person when it was on display in Chicago. Fucking amazing
That was fukN dope.🤘 that while build up... and then BAM! No more flowers🤘🍻🖌🎨
subtitles are the best
Yay I'm in the video during the Uniqlo drop. Kinda sad that I'm part of Murakamis brain melting nightmares tho lmfao
*You should see me in a crown*
Your silence is my favourite sound
Watch me make ‘em bow
Am already in one though ^_^
Dina Jalal OOOOWWOOOOOWOWOWOWOHOHOOH
So captured her movements
I like his humor
queria entender, como essa florzinha se tornou um ''hype'' (e um produto caro tbm), deveria ter investido nos meus desenhos de criança a muito tempo ent
this video is sick
My class learned about him during art
I beg you to put captions on😭🤣🤣🤣
Kaikai 🤟
Miss my cat 😻

I’m here after Billie’s new song music video.

Late to a party that has been going on before you were born
been on murakami since 2007 after his kanye west collab.
Wait he’s known for his flower pieces wow his bear pieces like his Chicago merch is insane
Cool take on Francis Bacon at the end.
Sick
Francis bacon. Three studies. Hmmm. I like what he did.
Аж мурашки по коже.
I really want that Doraemon hoodie
4:03 kawaii笑笑
He is artist, but I think he is more like marketer and producer (of his own works)
Gansta!!!
love ur work master😍😍
that sums it up. games rich people play
Best use of gold since Klimt.
The real Takashi
He really said give the video some acid visuals
Holy shit the captions are GOLD. Please someone who can translate tell me if he is actually saying the things in the captions. No fucking way
Takashi is right up there with Keith haring for me ♥️
This was great! Those subtitles? LOL!!!!
What did they say
@@mackinleyparham3716 Can't remember, but it was funny and, now that I look back, fake!
dope video
Now put the captions on
yooo wtf?
自分で描けよ村上！
PBL Pizza Burger life 絵に罪はないけどコイツアートでも嫌いでしかないわ。
If people think the world is in decay then they are living in the decaying part of the world :)
