AT Openings: Takashi Murakami & Virgil Abloh – ‘Future History’ @ Gagosian (London)

Japanese artist Takashi Murakami continued his collaboration with American designer Virgil Abloh and presented a series of joint works entitled Future History at the Gagosian Gallery in London.

Coinciding with London Fashion Week 2018, Superflat master Japanese artist Takashi Murakami continued his collaboration (covered) with American creative designer Virgil Abloh and presented a series of joint works entitled Future History at the Gagosian Gallery in London. The exhibition runs until April 7th and features large-scale paintings, sculptures and an installation drawing references to Abloh’s signature Off-White motifs alongside Murakami’s iconic cast of anime characters, reflecting incisively on the signs of the current times.

Amongst the works, visitors can enjoy the sculpture Life Itself, a kind of architectural structure designed by Abloh to house one of Murakami’s flower sculptures; a pair of paintings embellished with yellow Off-White™ branding and a spray-painted “O” as well as “HOLLOW” lettering on each one; black Flowers sculptures, and a glass house installation completely covered with black spray-paint and “LIFE ITSELF” on one side panel in white.
