And Then, And Then And Then And Then And Then / Green Truth is a color offset lithograph executed in 2008 by Takashi Murakami — one of the most celebrated, institutionally recognized, and globally influential artists of his generation, and the defining figure in the history of Japanese contemporary art's engagement with the international art world — signed, dated, edition of 300 to the lower right, and printed and published by Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. in Tokyo. Measuring 50 × 50 cm — a format of perfect pictorial symmetry entirely consistent with Murakami's characteristic engagement with the flat, centrifugal, and radially organized compositions that have become among the most recognizable images in contemporary art — the work delivers the full chromatic exuberance, graphic precision, and conceptual depth of Murakami's visual universe in a format of exceptional intimacy and collector desirability.
Takashi Murakami occupies a position of absolute singularity in the history of contemporary art. Born in Tokyo in 1963, Murakami developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s the theoretical and aesthetic framework he termed Superflat — a concept that identified the flattened pictorial space of traditional Japanese art, the visual culture of manga and anime, and the leveling logic of postwar Japanese consumer society as the defining conditions of a new and distinctly Japanese visual modernity. Through this framework, Murakami constructed a body of work of extraordinary range, ambition, and cultural complexity — spanning painting, sculpture, installation, fashion collaboration, and printmaking — in which the most seductive and immediately pleasurable surfaces of popular visual culture are inhabited by a depth of art historical knowledge, philosophical inquiry, and cultural critique that rewards the most sustained and serious engagement. His collaborations with Louis Vuitton, his friendship and creative partnership with Kanye West, and his simultaneous presence in the most prestigious international museum exhibitions and the most commercially dynamic sectors of the contemporary art market have made him one of the most widely recognized and culturally significant artists alive.
The work is in very good condition.

What is the And Then series? The And Then series is among the most celebrated and widely collected bodies of work in Murakami's printed oeuvre, centered on his iconic smiling flower motif — the single most recognizable element of his visual vocabulary, first developed in the early 1990s and refined across decades of painting, sculpture, and printmaking.
