Contemporary pop artist Takashi Murakami will reprise his recent L. A. success, opening a Louis Vuitton store at the Brooklyn Museum as part of his upcoming major retrospective exhibition. What does this have to do with Italian culture you say? Well, Italians are known for some of the best fashion design in the world, as well as for leather... I know, I know, but this will be fun (and it will mean that the Brooklyn Museum will be a real zoo this spring:
Lots of celebrity news to accompany this story: The Brooklyn Museum will also host a gala opening for the show, featuring Kanye West and Jay-Z sign up for gala. Following the debut of the wildly popular exhibition, ©Murakami, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles last fall, the exhibition moves to the Brooklyn Museum of Art on April 5. It will contian some ninety 90 works and will be on view through July 13.
On April 3, a gala event will be held at the Brooklyn Museum. Kanye West will perform in a mini-concert, while Jay-Z will act as a co-chair.
The vaunted French Louis Vuitton brand will install a shop at the Brooklyn Museum of Art for the run of the exhibition, featuring limited-edition (read very expensive) handbags and other leather products with Murakami designs.
