Monogram Cherry was produced for the major retrospective ©MURAKAMI at the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles from October 28, 2007 – February 11, 2008. The exhibition featured key selections that span Murakami’s career from the early 1990s to the present and including early political works that critique Japan’s consumer culture and talent industries; the ongoing evolution of Murakami’s anime alter-ego, DOB; and an exploration of his large-scale otaku-inspired figure projects of the late 1990s. The present lot was for sale at a fully functional Louis Vuitton boutique in the exhibition, highlighting the artist’s continued collaboration with the luxury brand.
