News: Murakami Dressed in Ball of Flowers!
Murakami painting
Artist Murakami was captured dressed in a ball of flowers costume (just like his paintings!) by Supertouch blog at Art Basel Miami this year. Follow the link to view him from the front.He gets the Little Hokum Rag seal of approval. I saw some of his art in NYC last summer.
Wish I could go to FLA just to see that. Alas, I am working too hard on my upcoming show to go anywhere. But, I will have some paintings in the Gen Art Vanguard part of the fair in Miami from Dec 4- Dec 7, 2008 for anyone who happens to go (represented by both Thinkspace and Mark Murphy).
