© MURAKAMI at the Brooklyn Museum was in fact a beautiful and inspiring exhibition. Artsy was able to catch it before it ended on the 13th. The exhibit was quite large, consisting of the 5th floor and then part of the first floor, as well as his “Double Helix” in the lobby when you entered as well as a inflatable DOB character. The exhibit contained over 90 pieces, varying paintings, sculptures, installations and films. The exhibit was nothing less than what one could expect from the Superflat artist. Brilliant, vibrant, energetic, whimsical, childlike and yet sexual, comical and futuristic. Few artists can successfully combine all these elements together cohesively, and here Murakami has.

From May 7 - Sept 1 the Met presents a Superheroes exhibit, primarily sponsored by Giorgio Armani. This is primarily more for fashion design students than comic book fans. The exhibit has costumes from movies, such as Spiderman, Ironman, and Batman. It even has the Wonder Woman costume from the tv series. But surrounding the one costume are designs inspired by the movie or comic book character.
