2. Takashi Murakami – Hiropon
Murakami is known for blurring the line between high and low art. He coined the term superflat, which describes both the aesthetic characteristics of the Japanese artistic tradition and the nature of post-war Japanese culture and society. The artist’s work Hiropon is an anime-type character with monstrously huge lactating breasts that are spilling out of her bikini. The work is both sick and ridiculous, a sculpture that. This supersised fantasy figurine sold at an auction in 2002 for $427,500 and helped transform Murakami into a globally recognised art-world rock star.
