- Takashi Murakami, Hiropan
Japanese neo-pop artist Takashi Murakami once said that Andy Warhol — to whom he's often compared — made art in order to distance himself from reality. Unlike Warhol, Murakami doesn't use his creations as cover-ups. He makes no bones about embracing pop culture in all of its gluttonous glory, designing handbags in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, making mass-produced tchotchkes, and beginning the title of his traveling retrospective with a copyright symbol. The Brooklyn Museum devotes two floors to more than 90 of Murakami's early works, from 1992 to 2000. But put away your checkbook — these pieces aren't for sale.
