Takashi Murakami held court last fall at the Château de Versailles, filling the historic chambers with a landmark exhibit of his distinctive Japanese Pop Art. That riotous explosion of color was echoed on the runways in Paris this past season, and no doubt many of those designers paid a visit to the château for inspiration. Murakami Versailles (Editions Xavier Barral) documents all 22 works that were on display, seven of which were being shown for the very first time. Of all the brilliant manga sculptures in the collection, the “Flower Matango” (above left) in the Galerie de Glaces—or hall of mirrors—was perhaps the most impressive.
