Lot Essay

“The theme my generation explored was the relationship between capitalism and art. In that sense I couldn’t use that many narrative motifs. So Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, and myself, we were trying to link art, which fundamentally has no value, with capitalism and to show how it can be seen as valuable.”-Takashi Murakami
