Takashi Murakami Flower Plush 1.5M Black

The Takashi Murakami Flower Plush 15" M in Black is a November 2018 collectible plush object from Takashi Murakami — the Japanese contemporary artist born in 1962 who founded the Superflat art movement and whose signature smiling daisy flower motif has become one of the most globally recognized and most commercially significant icons in contemporary art history, appearing across fine art, luxury fashion collaborations with Louis Vuitton, streetwear including Supreme and Human Made, and collectible merchandise that bridges the art world and toy collector markets. The Black Flower Plush applies Murakami's signature smiling flower character in the most dramatically unexpected and most art-historically interesting color expression across the Flower Plush range — with the standard Murakami flower being predominantly rendered in vivid multicolor or white expressions, making the Black version the most formally severe and most art-contextually serious interpretation of a character whose entire established visual identity is built on brightness, color, and exuberance. At $2,000 retail the 15-inch M-size Black Flower Plush is positioned at the premium collectible art object tier of Murakami's merchandise catalog, commanding a price commensurate with its status as a genuine artist-produced collectible from one of the most commercially successful and most institutionally recognized living artists in the world. Released November 3, 2018 at $2,000 retail through Murakami's Kaikai Kiki retail channels and authorized art collectible retailers globally. The Takashi Murakami Flower Plush 15" M Black was released on November 3, 2018 with a retail price of $2,000.
