This focused mid-career survey presents a selection of Fred Tomaselli’s unique hybrid paintings and collages from 1990 to the present. These layered paintings combine cutout images of plants, birds, smiling mouths, and hands (clipped from field guides and magazines) with passages of paint and actual prescription pills and hallucinogenic plants to create highly stylized, eye-popping compositions. Tomaselli’s artwork draws upon a wide range of sources from both popular culture and art history, and from his own hobbies of gardening, kayaking, and bird-watching. Growing up near the desert in southern California, Tomaselli felt the influence of nearby theme parks, with their manufactured reality, and the music and drug counterculture of Los Angles in the 1970s and 1980s. His distinctive melding of these influences coalesces into a folk-driven, utopian vision of the mythic American West and of lush gardens as sites of contemplation, loss, and possible redemption. One of the pioneering artists who moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the 1980s, Tomaselli continues to live and work in the borough.

Murakami Prints $$$$

Please enjoy the blog header photo this week by the talented photographer Andrew Valli!

ARTmostfierce recommends that while visiting the Brooklyn Museum and while enjoying the Takashi Murakami show, open up your purse and pick up a Murakami print for sale.

Yes, there is two styles and four different versions of each one. The 40 x 40 inches ( first image shown above) goes for $1,250.00.This one is also in a limited edition of 300. .The 20 x 20 inches(second image) is only $900.00 limited edition of 300.They are both still available in low numbers .


This is not my favorite image of a Murakami work ever but, they are made with such good quality and these images in particular are from his last painting series.

Murakami has done quite well in recent auctions(15.1 million one of his Lonesome Cowboy sculpture) and his work is getting a lot of mass appeal. If you are looking for an investment piece of art, I recommend taking a look at it.

You can't ...buy it over the phone, the Internet nor they will hold it for you (OK divas!)...SO if you want it, march your ass to Brooklyn, go and see the show and it is for sale on the last room of the show(a lot of people had missed it so keep your eyes open while in the last room!).

By the way it is already on E-bay.

Takashi Murakami at the Brooklyn Museum

Attention Shoppers, Bag Ladies and Label Whores!

Is Takashi Murakami shopping spree at the Louis Vuitton Store at the Brooklyn Museum!
You know him as the designer of the most coveted of it-bags; now see Takashi Murakami as the city’s biggest art star.

 His retrospective, opening tomorrow at the Brooklyn Museum, covers 18,500 square feet with cartoony drawings, sculptures, paintings, video and smiley-face flowers. And, oh yeah, a functional Louis Vuitton store. Roberta Smith calls it one of the show’s “visual high points,” adding that “it’s an ingenious key to the Pandora’s box of Mr. Murakami’s art and stuffed with questions of art and commerce, high and low, public brand and private expression, mass production and exquisite craft.” Stick around for the First Night party, which features anime, Japanese bands and a D.J., and a manga-based costume contest.
See articles by Carol Voguel and Roberta Smith of the New York Times listed accordingly in the links below.
ARTmostfierce might not get to see it till next weekend. Very busy over here planning a party to launch this blog. Crazy right?
