THIS OFFICE HAD ITS BLINDS UP AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW
iâm 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 canât be real someone wake me up
I know this print, itâs actually considered a fine art piece! Itâs clearly based on Takashi Murakamiâs live-sized statue âHiroponâ:
Which, yes, sheâs skipping rope with milk that sheâs lactating from her bazongas. Itâs actually part of a set, the other one being titled âLonesome Cowboyâ:
Which features a Cloud look-alike lassoing with his cum.Â
Murakami is well known for taking âlow artâ subject matter (anime, hentai, penises) and placing them in âhigh artâ 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 itâs honestly pretty funny to see pictures of his artwork in American museums, surrounded by confused white baby boomers.Â
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 Iâve ever seen in a museum.Â
god thank you for explaining this but also iâm still being slapped in the face as i type
