Murakami's Los Angeles Opening Attracts Celebrities
Date: 10/30/2007
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles ended its opening for Takashi Murakami's anime-influenced exhibition with a Sunday gala of celebrities, including music producer Pharrell Williams (live-action Voltron project) and actress Christina Ricci (live-action Speed Racer's Trixie). Rapper and anime fan Kanye West, who used Murakami's art on his Graduation album and videos, performed a small live set. Ricci said her movie's production was influenced by Murakami's Superflat aesthetic. Actress Susan Sarandon (Speed Racer's mother) had previously said that the directors, the Wachowski Brothers, are compositing scenes in artificially flattened layers to emulate the look of the original Speed Racer anime.
