Hardcover, 104 pages, Measures 9.5 x 11 inches.

Focusing on one of Murakami’s largest and most important works, In the Land of the Dead, Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow (2014), this book offers a lavish introduction to the work of one of Japan’s greatest artists. This publication provides a broad overview of Murakami's practice and features 12 works from The Broad's substantial collection of Murakami’s work, including his early sculpture DOB in the Strange Forest (Blue DOB) (1999), Flower Matango (b) (2001–6) and such notable later paintings and drawings as Hustle'n'Punch by Kaikai And Kiki (2009), Of Chinese Lions, Peonies, Skulls, and Fountains (2011) and Tan Tan Bo a.k.a. Gerotan: Scorched by the Blaze in the Purgatory of Knowledge (2018).

This landmark publication accompanies a major retrospective exhibition of Takashi Murakami’s paintings. Although other volumes on Murakami in English address the crossover between his fine art and commercial output, this book presents the first serious consideration of his work as a painter. It provides a sustained consideration of the artist’s relationship to the tradition of Japanese painting and his facility in straddling high and low, ancient and modern, eastern and western, commercial and high art. Lavishly illustrated with large-scale images of works that span his art student days to now—many reproduced together for the first time—the book contextualizes Murakami’s output in postwar Japan with essays that situate the artist in relation to folklore, traditional Japanese painting Nihonga, the Tokyo art scene in the 1980s and 1990s, and the threat of nuclear annihilation. The volume includes essays by curator Michael Darling, Michael Dylan Foster, Chelsea Foxwell, Reuben Keehan, and Akira Mizuta Lippit, as well as a biography and exhibition history, selected bibliography, and index.

The "Science Heroes Edition" celebrates the heroes of human achievement! Thank Darwin for these legends of cerebral contributions to human kind.

Marie Skłodowska Curie, also known as Madam Curie was a physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity at the turn of the 20th century. She was the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice and in multiple sciences and broke the seal for subsequent female nobel peace winners. She accomplished even more firsts for women, science and education than can fit here. If her academic and scientific accomplishments aren't enough, she also ran mobile X-Ray units during World War I. This repeated exposure to the still little understood radiation would eventually lead to her death.
Let's hope for a movie about her played by no one less than Maryl Streep!
