Takashi Murakami — Me and Mr. DOB; Maiden in the Yellow Straw Hat; and If I Could Reach That Field of Flowers, I Would Die Happy
Takashi Murakami

Me and Mr. DOB; Maiden in the Yellow Straw Hat; and If I Could Reach That Field of Flowers, I Would Die Happy

This triptych by Takashi Murakami comprises three signed and numbered prints published by his Kaikai Kiki studio, each rendered in silver ink on paper and presented unframed. The works exemplify Murakami's characteristic blending of high art and Japanese pop culture, featuring his iconic smiling flower motif alongside figurative imagery that bridges fine art and commercial aesthetics. The varying edition numbers (50/300, 96/300, and 41/300) suggest these are individual prints from a larger portfolio rather than a unified series, allowing viewers to encounter them as both standalone pieces and complementary works within the artist's broader oeuvre.

Medium
All signed and each numbered 50/300, 96/300 and 41/300 respectively in silver ink, published by Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd., Tokyo, all unframed.
