Takashi Murakami: "VIRGIL WAS HERE"

Takashi Murakami: "VIRGIL WAS HERE"

In the wake of the boundary-breaking designer, Mr. Virgil Abloh’s passing, we want to take a moment to revisit the masters’ spectacular collaboration prints.
“One day, I'd love for someone to refer to me as an artist.” – Virgil Abloh
Virgil Abloh and Takashi Murakami launched their anticipated “Future History” exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery London in 2018. We want to take a moment to revisit the show, comprised of large-scale paintings, sculptures and an installation that draws references to signature Off-White™ motifs alongside Murakami’s iconic cast of anime characters. Kyoto Enso and Hollow Man embellished with yellow Off-White™ branding and a spray-painted “O” as well as “HOLLOW” lettering on each one from an edition of 300. Momento Mori Silkscreen collection features Virgil Abloh’s trademark ‘X’ above Murakami’s iconic Flowers and Skulls in 3 color variations: Black, Off-White and Fluorescent Orange from an edition of 100. Glance Past the Future and Branded in Time collaborates a portrait of William Shakespeare with neon pink paint overlays and Takashi Murakami’s signature Mr. DOB from an edition of 300. We’re delighted to be able to offer Takashi Murakami and Virgil Abloh prints at Pinto Gallery. All prints are signed by both Virgil Abloh and Takashi Murakami.
