This Takashi Murakami tee has been created by the Gagosian Burlington Arcade gallery in London as a limited-edition shirt that pays homage to the artists work and his latest exhibition.
The shirt puts Murakami's Rakuchū-Rakugai-zu Byōbu: Iwasa Matabei RIP, 2023–24 in the spotlight and has an almost camouflage effect from afar. It's only on closer inspection that that Japanese landscape illustration is revealed alongside the artist's signature flower motif. The shirt is limited to just 200 examples and will come with a Murakami.Flowers Collectible Lucky Cat trading card that comes in one of 11 designs with three of which being designated as ultra-rare.
The Takashi Murakami tee will be available for purchase starting December 10, 2024 on a first-come-first-served basis.
