Career

Murakami's work can be found in museums around the world, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, the Tate Modern in London, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, and the Palazzo Grassi in Venice.

Murakami's art isn't only about what can be seen on the canvas; it's also about what can be seen from a distance. When looking at his murals up close, it can be noticed that they're made up of several smaller paintings that can be viewed from afar.

Murakami's vast murals and endeavors beyond the canvas are a type of art that has existed for millennia, but their application has changed with time.
