In 2008, Takashi Murakami was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people.Description
Contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami is known for his unique style that examines the cultural energies of present-day Japan—such as anime, manga, and the otaku culture that grew around these popular art forms—against the backdrop of Japanese traditions. The artist uses his art to interpret historical events and their lasting effects, such as the end of World War II, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and the COVID-19 pandemic. His practice was the subject of the CMA’s major 2025 exhibition Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow, and this portrait of Sarah S. and Alexander M. Cutler Director William M. Griswold was created on the occasion of that project.- 2025Takashi Murakami (the artist) [1962–], JapanDecember 8, 2025–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
