THIS OFFICE HAD ITS BLINDS UP AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW
iām losing my mind. this is a high rise office building on the upper east side of manhattan. and the only piece of art on the wall in this office is a bikini clad anime girl with humongous bazookas that are bouncing out of sync. this canāt be real someone wake me up
I know this print, itās actually considered a fine art piece! Itās clearly based on Takashi Murakamiās live-sized statueĀ āHiroponā:
Which, yes, sheās skipping rope with milk that sheās lactating from her bazongas. Itās actually part of a set, the other one being titledĀ āLonesome Cowboyā:
Which features a Cloud look-alike lassoing with his cum.Ā
Murakami is well known for takingĀ ālow artā subject matter (anime, hentai, penises) and placing them inĀ āhigh artā contexts. I actually saw Hiropon in personal with my own two eyes at the Denver Museum of Art back in 2009. A lot of what he does is satirical, and itās honestly pretty funny to see pictures of his artwork in American museums, surrounded by confused white baby boomers.Ā
That said, without the context, it DEFINITELY slaps you in the face and makes you question what the fuck is going on. Had I not found out who he was in college, Hiropon would still haunt me as the most confusing thing Iāve ever seen in a museum.Ā
god thank you for explaining this but also iām still being slapped in the face as i type
