Louis Vuitton is presenting a curated selection of works by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami at Art Basel Hong Kong 2025, highlighting the brand’s long-standing collaboration with the artist and its continued commitment to contemporary art.
Murakami’s multidisciplinary practice blends traditional Japanese techniques with pop culture, sci-fi, and anime. Central to the exhibition is his Superflat concept, which dissolves boundaries between high and low art. Visitors enter the Louis Vuitton booth through a pair of large sculptures, Zoucho-kun and Tamon-kun (2003), and encounter works including Superflat Jellyfish Eyes 1 (2003) and a variety of sculptures, prints, textiles, and video art.
The installation resembles a giant metallic Louis Vuitton trunk, lined with acid-green fabric. A “secret” screening room inside presents a cycle of Murakami’s video works. Pieces from the Louis Vuitton Heritage Collection are also on display, such as the Monogram Multicolore Marilyn Trunk (2003) and Monogramouflage (2008).
This presentation coincides with the renewed Louis Vuitton Murakami 2025 re-edition collection and underscores the House’s artistic collaborations dating back to the early 20th century. Louis Vuitton’s booth will be open to the public during Art Basel Hong Kong from 28 to 30 March 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention Centre.
